Abstract
langston hughes's poem, "trumpet player", is both a celebration of and reach for a Black identity. The poem's vivid imagery and careful metaphors connote to a theme consistent among hughes's work. The poem quietly speaks of oppression, of a violent past, of desperation and ongoing struggle, of a search for identity, but at the same time celebrates the grace and beauty of the "Negro." The poem's rhythmic structure and rhyming scheme give it a musical flow appropriate to the title and the subject matter. The poem is about Black man; a trumpet player playing at a club and the poem serves to speak how the music this man plays mellows the violent conflict within him.
