Jones is included in An Anthology of Verse by American Negroes
Poet involved
What happened
In 1924, Jones was represented in An Anthology of Verse by American Negroes, published by Trinity University Press. The anthology formed part of a wider effort to collect Black poetry in the United States. Jones was included among thirty-four poets.
Literary impact
The selection confirmed that Jones's work remained visible during the anthology-making years around the Harlem Renaissance. Even limited inclusion helped keep his name attached to the public record of African American verse.
