Poet: Langston Hughes
Poem: Po' Boy Blues

Mr Hughes is clearly influenced by elements of the blues which is shown through the structure in terms of the repeats (AAB pattern)as well as the themes.This allows for a more accurate portrayal of the feelings of Negro's in that period. This point is further supported as Hughes assumes the character of the young boy and uses the blues to develop a way of authenticating the typicalexperiences of a young black boy at the time.
