The Book of American Negro Poetry (Unabridged)

In the book of American Negro Poetry is one of the earliest and most essential anthologies of African-American verse ever brought to print. Edited by writer and diplomat James Weldon Johnson, this collection was published with the hope of bringing to the public a greater awareness of the art and literature created by Black writers. This is the first edition of this long-republished anthology and collects seminal works by Paul Dunbar, W.
E. B. Du Bois, Claude McKay, Leslie Hill, James Corrothers, and many more.
