Langston Hughes & Raymond Carver
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares the work of African American poets Raymond Carver and Langston Hughes, who are separated by decades, but nevertheless shares similarities in that both poets favored an abbreviated style that employed an economy of words. Each poet favored choosing the precise image that would conjure understanding in the reader and reference the rich tapestry of common human experience. Their work differed in that Hughes, writing in the early part of the twentieth century, was more concerned with issues of equality and civil rights. However, analysis of their work shows that each man, in his own definitive style, drew upon what it means to be human in order to make his point. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
