Book Reviews of Langston Hughes (Voice of the Poet)
Book Review: This is the voice of the poet ...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Voice of The Poet Series continues to deliver with the Langston Hughes collection which is engrossing and incredible.
This is a CD and Book package that spans the entire career of Langston Hughes's work that was recorded on tape in different settings throughout the years. The book is small, clean and well-presented making it easy for the reader to follow along with the disc.
Langston not only delivers some very straight-forward readings of his work, but does a fair bit of story-telling and warmly lapses into casual conversation in several spots. There is a lot of biographical information in between the poetry which is worth the cost of the set alone. I found this set warm and engaging from beginning to end and wished that there was more.
After looking around on the Internet, I've come to discover that these recordings have been repackaged on compact disc before but without the book and without some of the biographical musings, however, this is the set to buy without any doubt. The recordings are clear, crisp and without static, interference or fading, unlike some of the other products.
If you've never heard Langston Hughes's voice before, get this. If you've never heard him read aloud his poetry and tell parts of his life story, get this. If you've gotten any of the other offerings from 'The Voice of The Poet' series ... get this.
