Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 4/20/95, p.78
3 Stars - Good - "...[Langston Hughes'] slightly nasal voice maintains the deliberate simplicity that makes his poetry so elegant and accessible..."
Vibe - 5/95, p.97
"At a time when everybody's trying to be a poet, it's refreshing to hear the rhythmic words, colorful imagery, and political sentiment of a truly old-school literary genius....especially poignant in this era--one still plagued with racial injustice and lack of integrity..."
Living Blues - 9-10/95, p.104
"...A nicely assembled and annotated aural introduction to a prolific and important African-American writer."
