Robert Hayden was the first African-American Poet Laureate of the United States. Mr. Hayden believed that art and literature have the power to unite, illuminate, and inspire across ancestral and cultural lines. It is hoped that this book will introduce the reader to this artistic luminary whose life and poetry will continue to inspire many for generations to come.
