To whom it may concern: The article on Langston Hughes says that he went to sea in 1923. That doesn't quite square with the line in his poem "Theme for English B" that reads "I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem." Also, being born in Winston-Salem does not quite square with being born in Joplin, Missouri. When was this poem written? Did he use twenty-two and Winston-Salem in a poetic license?
