the last book I ever read (The Big Sea: An Autobiography by Langston Hughes, excerpt five)

from The Big Sea: An Autobiography by Langston Hughes:

My mother let me go to the station alone, and I felt pretty bad when I got on the train. I felt bad for the next three or four years, to tell the truth, and those were the years when I wrote most of my poetry. (For my best poems were all written when I felt the worst. When I was happy, I didn’t write anything.)
