출판사 서평

할렘의 그늘 외 시들.The Book of Harlem Shadows, by Claude McKay
INTRODUCTION
These poems have a special interest for all the races of man because they are
sung by a pure blooded Negro. They are the first significant expression of that race
in poetry. We tried faithfully to give a position in our literature to Paul Laurence
Dunbar. We have excessively welcomed other black poets of minor talent, seeking
in their music some distinctive quality other than the fact that they wrote it. But here
for the first time we find our literature vividly enriched by a voice from this most
alien race among us. And it should be illuminating to observe that while these poems
are characteristic of that race as we most admire it―they are gentle-simple, candid,
brave and friendly, quick of laughter and of tears―yet they are still more
characteristic of what is deep and universal in mankind. There is no special or exotic
kind of merit in them, no quality that demands a transmutation of our own natures
to perceive. Just as the sculptures and wood and ivory carvings of{x} the vast
forgotten African Empires of If？ and Benin, although so wistful in their tranquillity,
are tranquil in the possession of the qualities of all classic and great art, so these
poems, the purest of them, move with a sovereignty that is never new to the lovers
of the high music of human utterance.

AUTHOR’S WORD
In putting ideas and feelings into poetry, I have tried in each case to use the
medium most adaptable to the specific purpose. I own allegiance to no master. I have
never found it possible to accept in entirety any one poet. But I have loved and joyed
in what I consider the finest in the poets of all ages.
The speech of my childhood and early youth was the Jamaica Negro dialect, the
native variant of English, which still preserves a few words of African origin, and
which is more difficult of understanding than the American Negro dialect. But the
language we wrote and read in school was England’s English. Our text books then,
before the advent of the American and Jamaican readers and our teachers, too, were
all English-made. The native teachers of the elementary schools were tutored by men
and women of British import. I quite remember making up verses in the dialect and
in English for our moonlight ring{xx} dances and for our school parties. Of our purely
native songs the jammas (field and road), shay-shays (yard and booth), wakes (post mortem), Anancy tales (transplanted African folk lore), and revivals (religious) are
all singularly punctuated by meter and rhyme. And nearly all my own poetic thought
has always run naturally into these regular forms.
