Langston Hughes nasceu no estado americano do Missouri e é o escritor, poeta e dramaturgo mais famoso do movimento modernista norte-americano conhecido comoHarlem Renaissance, que contou ainda com os autores Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston e James Weldon Johnson, entre outros. O movimento, que tinha como uma de suas sedes o lendário Apollo Theater, lançaria ainda a carreira musical de Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald e Sarah Vaughan.
Muito antes de Beats como Allen Ginsberg e Jack Kerouac professarem um retorno à relação saudável entre literatura e oratura, assim como Kenneth Rexroth logo antes deles, Langston Hughes já havia iniciado o processo dentro do modernismo norte-americano, sendo um dos primeiros a experimentar com o que ficaria conhecido comojazz poetry.
Sua estreia como poeta, em livro, seria comThe Weary Blues (1926), ao qual se seguiriamFine Clothes to the Jew (1927),The Negro Mother and Other Dramatic Recitations (1931),Dear Lovely Death (1931),The Dream Keeper and Other Poems (1932),Scottsboro Limited: Four Poems and a Play (1932),Let America Be America Again (1938),Shakespeare in Harlem (1942),Freedom's Plow (1943), Fields of Wonder (1947),One-Way Ticket (1949),Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951),Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz (1961) eThe Panther and the Lash: Poems of Our Times (1967). Entre seus romances, estreou comNot Without Laughter (1930) eThe Ways of White Folks (1934).
Seu trabalho na Harlem Renaissance viria a influenciar autores como Léon Damas, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor e Aimé Césaire.
