Enjoy a short tribute to Jacques Roumain, written by his African-American friend and literary giant, Langston Hughes. I believe this poem and numerous other fascinating aspects of Jacques Roumain's life and work can be found in Fowler's A Knot in the Thread: The Life and Work of Jacques Roumain.
Always
You will be
Man
Finding out about
The ever bigger world
Always you will be
Hand that links
Erzulie to the Pope,
Damballa to Lenin
Haiti to the universe
