Robert Hayden (1913-1980) was one of the most important African-American poets of the twentieth century. He left behind an exquisite body of work, collected in this definitive edition, including American Journal, which was nominated for a National Book Award in its first publication.
An introduction by Arnold Rampersad provides a biographical portrait of Hayden and a critical context in which to understand his poetry.
