  While competing with Langston Hughes for the title of Poet Laureate of Harlem, Countee Cullen (1903-46) crafted poems that became touchstones for American readers, both black and white. Drawing on the poet's correspondence with contemporaries and friends, and presenting an interpretation of his poetic gifts, this book tells his story.
