Morning reading first took me to James Weldon Johnson's retelling of the Genesis creation narrative, "The Creation," then to Millay.
JWJ's Creation starts as follows:
"And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I'm lonely—
I'll make me a world."Something about loneliness as a motive for creation is quite lovely, and resonates to me, on another frequency but still sensibly, with Millay's all-consuming hunger for the world.

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man
Just finished reading this excellent 1912 novel by James Weldon Johnson - the fictional account of a young biracial man living in the post-Reconstruction era of America. The title of the book is a bit misleading since throughout most of the lead character's story he is exploring his place in society with full acknowledgment of his true racial identity.
Weldon was a writer + civil rights activist - an early leader of the NAACP. He was known during the Harlem Renaissance for his poems + wrote the lyrics for "Lift Every Voice and Sing", which later became known as the Black National Anthem.

Last night #DLHUGHLEY who is guest hosting for #thedailyshow asked people in the street if they knew the words to the Black National Anthem. Neither black nor white knew a word. But I was lying in bed humming the tune and mouthing the words. When I was little, in the 1950s, my parents took me with them to NAACP meeting and every meeting opened with that song So here are the words. #NegroNationalAnthem #JamesWeldonJohnson #BlackHistoryMonth https://sos.sdes.ucf.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/62/2019/01/Lift20Every20Voice20and20Sing1.pdf

Just ordered my copy of The Annotated Book of American Negro Poetry, freshly published through the Lowcountry Rice Culture Project. Very much looking forward to the collection, especially Jonathan Green's illustrations. Word to publishers - I will buy pretty much any book that includes his artwork.
