Langston Hughes was one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. He was known as the poet laureate of black life and culture. His boyhood years, from 1903 to 1915, were lived in Lawrence, Kansas. Langston credits his Lawrence upbringing with having deeply influenced his writings. In 2004, his boyhood home in Lawrence was named a national poetry landmark by the Academy of American Poets.

The abject loneliness, poverty, and unhappiness of Langston's childhood years in Lawrence have not been captured by any historian, until now that is. This novel puts you at young Langston's side during those formative moments that shaped his poetry and made him the man that he was.
