¿Alguien sabe algo sobre este autor?¿Sabeis si es posible conseguir alguna de sus obras en español?
Lo conoci hace poco al escuchar un poema suyo en una serie y me llamó mucho la atencion....
Lo unico que he encontrado sobre el es: 1913 - 1980.Poeta,ensayista y profesor.Fue alumno de W.H Auden
Creo que era uno de los pocos poetas afroamericanos "conocidos" en esa epoca

Full Moon
No longer throne of a goddess to whom we pray,
no longer the bubble house of childhood's
tumbling Mother Goose man,
The emphatic moon ascends--
the brilliant challenger of rocket experts,
the white hope of communications men.
Some I love who are dead
were watchers of the moon and knew its lore;
planted seeds, trimmed their hair,
Pierced their ears for gold hoop earrings
as it waxed or waned.
It shines tonight upon their graves.
And burned in the garden of Gethsemane,
its light made holy by the dazzling tears
with which it mingled.
And spread its radiance on the exile's path
of Him who was The Glorious One,
its light made holy by His holiness.
Already a mooted goal and tomorrow perhaps
an arms base, a livid sector,
the full moon dominates the dark.
Gracias a todos de todas formas!!!!
