The Big Sea

I am reading a book about Langston Hughes called "The Big Sea". It is actually very interesting, it mentions a lot of information about his life. When he was a child and how he struggled because of his race. Langston Hughes said he wrote his best stuff when he felt bad not good.

Some of his poems are about facing adversity and learning how to overcome it. You can click on this link to read some of his work. If anyone is a fan of Langston Hughes, I suggest you read this book.
