The chapters are essays by Langston Hughes on different aspects of rhythm. Wynton Marsalis wrote the introduction. In an afterword, Robert O'Meally places the book in the context of Hughes' involvement in the Harlem Renaissance and the McCarthy hearings. |

Teachers may want to excerpt separate chapters. Because the chapters are beautifully written essays, they could serve as models for writing projects.
