Southeastern Missouri has a charm and a mysterious quality that bears repeating through multiple visits. Constantly making new connections, and investing its own thought in its future, there are many possibilities to explore the cities here as well as the small towns. There are fantastic things to look into, but none of them is as rewarding, perhaps, as looking a bit into the life of the great poet, Langston Hughes .
Born in Joplin in 1902, Langston Hughes was to have a remarkable career as a poet, enjoying a kind of success that is often only bestowed posthumously, although his immortality seems to be gaining in strength every day. There is nothing short-sighted about the words, which prove themselves more and more prophetic with each passing decade.
This is a find reason to visit the accommodations and enjoy what might be one of the most interesting times spent in a small town. Of course, there will likely be many moments of very delightful bliss, looking at a day that’s meant for relaxing and some delicious food. Making people feel welcome is a habit that gets learned, and it certainly circulates in the air here.
Missouri’s reputation is made on sentiments like Hughes ‘, who wrote so many remarkable things that touch generation after generation, and continue to explore the margins, looking for the empty spaces that seem filled with meaning, and only find words, hinting at something deeper, some deeper reason why this must be so. Moving from Missouri to Europe as an ex-pat, and to New York as a literary darling, there are more worlds in his life than most writers get to visit in their imaginations. And at the end of the day, what really is important is that agreement between the musician and the man behind the stove.
