兰斯顿·休斯

兰斯顿·休斯出生于美国密苏里州乔普林,高中时就喜爱上了写诗,曾就读于哥伦比亚大学,但不久即辍学游历。他当过水手、传者、杂工,其间并没有中断诗歌创作。1924年他来到纽约黑人聚居区哈莱姆,并在这儿出版了他的第一部诗集《萎靡的布鲁斯》(1926)。作为一名左翼作家,他以诗歌为武器,不断地为争取黑人劳动者的利益而斗争,他还曾访问过苏联和中国,并称见过鲁迅先生。他的作品在二战期间日趋激进,并曾因此受到传讯,他后期作品风格趋于缓和。成名后,休斯始终没有离开哈莱姆,他十分注重向黑人民歌汲取营养,在诗歌中引入了爵士民谣的形式和节奏,格调清新,而内容则紧密联系美国底层黑人的生活,表现出鲜明的现实主义精神,对美国诗歌的发展产生了积极而深远的影响。休斯的主要诗集有《犹太人的好衣服》(1927)、《梦乡人》(1932)、《哈莱姆的莎士比亚》(1942)、《单程票》(1949)。此外,他还作有长篇小说个片非没有笑》(1930),短篇小说集《白人的行径》(1934),幽默小品 “辛波尔”系列,自传《茫茫大海》(19ed)和《我漂泊,我彷徨》(1956),戏剧,译诗等。
