Nichel,Your article makes me want to read more of McKay, especially since the wounds he felt are still festering. I know this from my black friends past and present.
I have read the works of some figures of the Harlem Renaissance, but your topic certainly sheds a lot of light on this period.
Thanks for continuing to cover this subjects and the literary figures so well.

I digged the article on Claude Mckay. If I'm correct didn't Mckay write a autobiography set in Harlem? I am always amazed by the skill of great poets it is something about putting words down that leave you with some much beyond the surface to think about.-- posted by w_benefield

Thank you so much for visiting and reading my latest poetry review. I really enjoyed Mckay's viewpoint in this poem - it made me reflect deeply.
I am so touched that you allowed yourself to understand the issues raised by Mckay due to the intense pressures during this time period. I thank you for that.
Many blessings, Tom!

It is so great to hear from a good old friend. I am glad that you stopped by to read up on my latest poetry review.
And yes, I believe Mckay did write an autobiography of Harlem - I just can't place the title. If I do, I will post it here in this thread.
Thanks for enjoying my review, Walter, I really liked it as well.
(Smile...today is a gorgeous day!)
Be Bless!

What a wonderful review, Nichel. You put your heart and soul into it. The poem, A Negro's Tragedy, is a beautifully written poem. And of course, it tells it like it is. No white man can truly ever understand. Thank you for your beautiful review.How are you doing otherwise, Nichel? I hope good. I've been enjoying the gorgeous fall weather, while it lasts. Take care, and be well and happy! Renie
