Investigates the nearly three dozen poems written by Hughes on the subject of lynching to explore its varying effects on survivors, victims, and accomplices as they resisted, accepted, and executed this brutal form of sadistic torture. This initiates an important dialogue between America's neglected history of lynching and some of the world’s most significant poems.
