Arguably the greatest African-American poet of the century, and one of the most important American poets, Sterling A. Brown was a contemporary of Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Jean Toomer; as a part of this group, and individually, he has been instrumental in bringing the traditions of African-American folklife to readers all over the world.
