Now they do, in a splendid volume edited and illustrated by a top-caliber team who are simply the best in their fields. & The introduction, biography, and annotations come from Arnold Rampersad, a Professor and Dean at Stanford University, who has written The Life of Langston Hughes, and David Roessel, co-editor with Professor Rampersad of The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes and editor of the Langston Hughes collection in Knopf ' s Everyman series. Benny Andrews -- a painter, printmaker, and arts advocate whose work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Smithsonian, among others -- has created gallery-quality illustrations thatpulse with energy and add rich dimension to the poems. & Among the anthologized poems are Hughes ' s best-known and most loved works: " The Negro Speaks of Rivers "; " Aunt Sue ' s Stories "; " Danse Africaine "; " Mother to Son "; " My People "; " Words Like Freedom "; " Harlem "; and " I, Too " -- his sharp, pointed response to Walt Whitman ' s earlier " I Hear America Singing.
