Abstract

At the time, hughes was in the Soviet Union, touring its various countries and
struggling to put together the film "Black and White" with some fellow writers and actors. The manuscript hughes sent Van Vechten that spring was some of hughes' most radical work. It praised Soviet government and ways of life while criticizing America's hypocrisy and pride. Van Vechten's criticism, however, was less about the actual content of the poems and more about hughes' apparent naive revolutionary fervor. He seemed concerned with hughes' lack of poetic imagery and the overall impression it would make on his readers. "It even seems a little ironic to me to ask a capitalist publisher to publish a book which is so very revolutionary and so little poetic in tone," Van Vechten wrote. hughes disagreed with Van Vechten's impression of the manuscript, saying of the
poems, "I like some of them as well as anything I ever did."
