Jean Toomer was born on this day, 1894. He wrote one of the most extraordinary poetic empathetic & haunting books I’ve ever read. It has qualities of spirituals, southern gothic, multi-angled modernism & Harlem Renaissance. It speaks of it’s time & ours https://t.co/dRQz88IG8U pic.twitter.com/d0w3enpq0z
