Montage of a dream deferred.
[First edition]
New York, Holt [1951]
"In terms of current Afro-American popular music and the
sources from which it has progressed - jazz, ragtime, swing,
blues, boogie-woogie, and be-bop - this poem on contemporary
Harlem, like be-bop, is makred by conflicting changes, sudden
nuances, sharp and impudent interjections, broken rhythms,
and passages sometimes in the manner of the jam session,
sometimes the popular song, punctuated by the riffs, runs,
breaks, and disc-tortions of the music of a community in transition."

A new song. Introduction by Michael Gold; frontispiece by Joe Jones.
New York, International Workers Order, c1938.
"American labor has at last entered the field of culture, so
long deemed the private property of the upper classes. In
New York several trade union theatres are teaching new lessons to jaded and cynical Broadway. In Detroit, the auto workrs union has published a novel by Upton Sinclair in an enormous edition.
The International Workers Order is the first, probably, to sponsor a book of poetry. This book by Langston Hughes will be published in a first edition of 10,000, which is a rare and startling figure in the American poetry world. There are many fine poets in American, but the upper classes have snubbed, patronized and starved them consistently. The lament of every modern poet is that he has no audience in America. If the International Workers Order with its 140,000 members can create a great people's audience for poetry here, it will have contibuted mightily to the rise of that democratic culture of which Walt Whitman prayed and dreamed." --from Michael Gold's introduction.
