Harlem Renaissance Poetry
Centered in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, an groundbreaking artistic moment arose in the 1920s and 1930s. While the movement covered a wide swath of artistic endeavors, the poets left an indelible mark on American arts and culture. Leveraging a diverse range of forms, poets often infused the hallmarks of jazz, ragtime, and blues style into their work. Look for Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Countee Cullen, and more.
