The living testimony of a community in Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes: The Sweet Flypaper of Life

We are delighted to announce the Heritage Edition of Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes: The Sweet Flypaper of Life, published in both hardcover and paperback editions with a new afterword by Sherry Turner DeCarava. "While carrying the burdens of history," she writes, "robust and yet finely-attuned personalities rise in these pages; Hughes was able to imbue each imagined individual with a vivid agency. The persistence and dedication of DeCarava and Hughes, the cadence of their improvisations in image and word bring an entire audience of people—readers, subjects and the artists themselves—into an intimate, emotional arc of transformation. You hold in your hands not only the living testimony of a community, but the moment of insight for Langston Hughes when he realized what he held in his hands in that Harlem corner."
