Cane

Jean Toomer

First published 1923

Jean Toomer's fragmented cycle of poems, sketches, and stories moves between the rural South, Washington, D.C., and the Midwest. Voices of desire, labor, memory, violence, and migration gather into a modernist portrait of Black life and the search for identity across changing landscapes.
