Sail Away
by Langston Hughes

"Readers don’t have to have ever heard Bryan’s unforgettable, theatrical recitation of "My People" or other Hughes poems to understand the depth of the artist’s appreciation of and admiration for Hughes and his poetry: he opens the poems up visually here in the same way that he opens them auditorily when he performs them live. Like Hughes, Bryan, at 91, can also boast, ’I’m still pulling.’" -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
