In this episode, we discuss the life of author Claude McKay—a Jamaican-born activist and writer who was an important part of the Harlem Renaissance.
We examine a number of his poems as part of our “Nostalgia” theme, exploring subjects like grieving familial loss, romantic love, and the fight for racial equality in the United States and beyond.
Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition—together.
Readings: The Tropics in New York, December, 1919, Romance, If We Must Die
