Mary Glenn Krause, Carla Foust, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Fire!!: A Quarterly Devoted to the Younger Negro Artists, Volume 1, Number 1" by Wallace Thurman is a literary magazine featuring a collection of works created by young Black artists, likely written during the Harlem Renaissance period. This issue serves as a platform for African American voices, exploring themes of identity, racial struggles, and artistic expression through various forms such as poetry, essays, and plays. At the start of the publication, the opening sections introduce readers to a collection of sketches, poetry, and editorial commentary. George S. Schuyler's article reflects on the harsh realities faced by Black individuals in the South, revealing a bleak narrative of violence and discrimination. The foreword sets a tone of urgency and passion, using fire as a powerful metaphor for creativity and resilience. Contributions from notable figures like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston further illustrate the vibrancy of the artistic community, with works that delve into personal experiences of love, race, and the socio-political landscape of their time. This first issue encapsulates the struggles and triumphs of the younger Negro artists, inviting readers into the heart of their creative world.
