""Following WWI (the war to end all wars), talented young authors, some expatriates in France, wrote about their feelings of disillusionment and alienation!. A sense of rebellion developed and the victorian idea of decency was considered hypocritical!. Writers began to write frankly about sexuality!. Three important groups during this period were:
The Algonquin Round Table, also called THE ROUND TABLE, informal group of American literary men and women who met daily for lunch on weekdays at a large round table in the Algonquin Hotel in New York City during the 1920s and '30s!. Many of the best-known writers, journalists, and artists in New York City were in this group!. Among them were Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott (author of the quote "All the things I really like are immoral, illegal, or fattening", Heywood Broun, Robert Benchley,Robert Sherwood, George S!. Kaufman, Franklin P!. Adams, Marc Connelly, Harold Ross, Harpo Marx, and Russell Crouse!.

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp!.
Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give;
Gas smells awful; You might as well live!.
RESUME by Dorothy Parker

Harlem Renaissance is considered the first important movement of black artists and writers in the US!. Centered in Harlem, NY, and other urban areas during the 1920s, black writers published more than ever before!. Influential and lasting black authors, artists, and musicians received their first serious critical appraisal!. This group included Zora Neale Hurston, W!.E!.B!. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, and Alain Locke , who was considered the chief interpreter for the Harlem movement!.
Southern gentle lady,
Do not swoon!.
They've just hung a black man
In the dark of the moon!. They've hung a black man
To the roadside tree
In the dark of the moon
For the world to see
How Dixie protects
Its white womanhood
Southern gentle lady,
Be good!
Be good!
Silhouette by Langston Hughes

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
