I finally got around to reading this poetry collection, and I enjoyed it. It is of its time, but I think everyone still resonates with all of these themes even today (both a blessing and a curse, really).

There is a prevalent melancholy throughout the whole book. This also seemed to have predominantly resonated with the working-class African Americans in Harlem, talking about their struggles, partying, injustices, blues, and religion.
