Throughout the course of black American writers in Paris, we read the literature of many authors who had an influence not only on the Renaissance of Harlem but also for generations to come. . Since the Harlem Renaissance served as an awakening in the black community, which allowed black people to celebrate their blackness and personal individuality. There were many stars during the Harlem Renaissance, ranging from Countee Cullen to Josephine Baker to WEB DuBois and more. Langston Hughes was not afraid to express his blackness through his writing. A reader can see in Hughes' essay, The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, Hughes expresses dismay that if a poet does not want to identify as a Negro poet, then Gwendolyn Bennet and Jesse Redmon Fauset have both had an influence on the Harlem Renaissance movement. . Bennet's poetry reflects the lives of black people in touch with their roots. While Fauset's poetry shows what life is like for a wannabe during the Harlem Renaissance. For Fauset's poetry, it seems that she has other influences that shape her writing. The poetry featured for Bennett shows how his blackness influenced his writing. Phrases like “Shaken by firm, brown limbs, Or heads thrown back in irreverent mirth.” My song has the ultimate sweetness, Lips Wet and Dark” shows how the character(s) in the poem are black and the audience who can relate is black. The form used in his poetry was primarily narrative. She used alliteration and stanza to emphasize certain parts. “Memory will lay its hands on your breast and you will understand my hatred” This line shows the metaphorical usage that Bennett uses in the poem Hate to emphasize the strength of the hatred she has towards anyone. Imagery is another tool she uses in her poetry. Fauset uses images in her poetry to allow the reader to imagine what exactly she is describing. There was a use of metaphor in his poem La Vie C'est La Vie ("And there is a man whose lightest word can inflame my cool." The tone of his poetry appears to be optimistic. Fauset also uses rhymes at the end of his stanzas as a tool in his poetry Both poets have similarities in their use of tone and metaphor, but are different in their use of form and metaphor..
