Poets' Corner - Claude McKay - Harlem Shadows

His breadth of subject matter is also new in African- American poetry of the period, for McKay writes as a man experiencing much that life has to offer, and as a poet who wants to share those experiences.
. . .
The remaining two-thirds of Harlem Shadows covers subjects common to most other poets: nature ("Morning Joy," "After the Winter"); childhood memories ("Flame-Heart," "Homing Swallows"); loneliness("On Broadway"); homesickness ("The Tropics in New York"); life in the city ("Subway Wind, "The Night Fire"); love ("A Red Flower," "A Memory of June"); and poetry ("Poetry," "To a Poet").
. . .
In early 1922, Harlem Shadows, which incorporated most of the poetry from Spring in New Hampshire, was published; it is his most significant volume of poetry.
. . .
McKay's arrival in America had brought him for the first time into contact with the violent, aggressive racism which characterized America at the time.
. . .
During this period, he wrote and published his three novels (Home to Harlem, 1928; Banjo, 1929; and Banana Bottom, 1933) along with a collection of short stories (Gingertown, 1932).
. . .
From 1917 to 1919 a large number of his poems were published, particularly in the left-wing journal Liberator.

Reinvigorating the standard English sonnet after migrating to New York, McKay helped to spark the Harlem Renaissance with modern classics such as "If We Must Die." Coming under scrutiny for his Bolshevist views, McKay left America in 1922 and spent twelve years roaming from Moscow to Tangier via Berlin, Paris, and Barcelona.
. . .
These shifts in location led to shifts in form, subject, and language, and when McKay returned to Harlem in 1934, having denounced Stalin's Soviet Union, his pristine "Violent sonnets" gave way to confessional lyrics strongly informed by his newfound Catholicism.
