Collected Poems

An exquisite body of work celebrating the centennial of one of the most important African-American poets of the twentieth century.
Robert Hayden was one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century. He left behind an exquisite body of work, collected in this definitive edition, including A Ballad of Remembrance, Words in the Mourning Time, The Night-Blooming Cereus, Angle of Ascent, and American Journal, which was nominated for a National Book Award. Also included is an introduction by American poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, as well as an afterword by Arnold Rampersad that provides a critical and historical context. In Haydenâ€™s work the actualities of history and culture became the launching places for flights of imagination and intelligence. His voiceâ€•characterized by musical diction and an exquisite feeling for the formality of patternâ€•is a seminal one in American life and literature.
