Fine Clothes to the Jew
Langston Hughes
Hailed by Arnold Rampersad as “[Hughes’] most brilliant book of poems,” Fine Clothes to the Jew is the stunning sophomore collection of poetry that—in conjunction with The Weary Blues—solidified Langston Hughes as a literary powerhouse.
Originally published in 1927, Fine Clothes to the Jew is both a continuation and extension of his previous volume of verse; continuing to utilize the rhythm and function of Black classical music—the blues, as it were—to capture a scene of Black life in America, only this time with a less pristine picture.
Turning his focus from the tender and nostalgic depiction of the culture, Hughes opts to reveal the raw and unfiltered realities of Harlem; the depression, the poverty, and the struggle of those outside the purview of the Talented Tenth; creating what is arguably, one of the most significant collections of poetry ever published and one of the most-overlooked pieces of work in African-American literary history.
Featuring such poems as, “Po’ Boy Blues,” “Death of Do Dirty,” “Song For a Dark Girl,” and “Lament Over Love,” Fine Clothes to the Jew is a must-read book for fans of Langston Hughes and a forgotten classic of the Harlem Renaissance.
