Thread Name: Lyr Req: Red Sun (Langston Hughes, Josh White)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Red Sun (Josh White?)
Langston Hughes was a prolific writer; The "Collected Poems of Langston Hughes" runs to over 700 pages. Some were based on blues (e. g. "Weary Blues"). The book should be in most libraries and paperback reprints are cheap.
A few of his poems are on the web by permission; the estate holds the copyrights (he died in 1967).
