　　novels，plays，short stories，essays，autobiographies，newspaper columns (栏目)，children’s books，and the words to operas.He also translated into English the works of foreign poets.

　　From his childhood，Langston Hughes developed a love of reading books，which grew into a desire to write.He wanted to reproduce the powerful effect other writers had made upon him.Among the early influences on his writing were poets Walt Whitman，Carl Sandburg and Paul Laurence Dunbar.

　　One day，the poet Vachel Lindsay ate in a hotel where Hughes was working.Hughes put some poems he had written next to Lindsay’s dinner plate.Lindsay gave a poetry reading later that night.He read some of Hughes’s poetry，too.Newspapers across the country wrote about Lindsay’s poetry reading.Hughes became known as a new black poet.

　　A year later，Hughes returned to New York.Through the years he lived in many places，but always came back to New York’s Harlem area.Harlem was the center of black life in New York City，Hughes’s creativity was influenced by his life in Harlem.

　　Langston Hughes returned to New York during a period called the Harlem Renaissance.It took place during the

　　nineteen-twenties and thirties.The Harlem Renaissance was a period of great artistic creativity among black people.For the first time，black artistic style was being widely recognized.Hughes became friends with other great black writers of the time，such as Claude McKay，Countee Cullen and Zora Neale Hurston.They hoped that great art could change the racist ideas in America about African Americans.
