While largely forgotten, Langston Hughes' sophomore volume of poetry, Fine Clothes to the Jew, is considered by many to be his greatest collection of verse. Shifting his focus from the triumphant highs of jazz to the somber lows of the blues, Hughes once again paints a picture of when "the Negro was in vogue," only this time with a darker hue.
