pick#SavvySettings Day 10: The Negro Speaks of #River(s) is included in this collection of Hughes‘ poetry. From my review: “The editors did a fine job condensing Hughes‘ history and making it accessible to young readers without watering the issues down in any way. The illustrations are gorgeous too with a slightly European vibe discerned in the thin elongated figures and lots of empty spaces for the eyes to rest.” More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7vw
