Infobase Publishing, Publication and response The title appears in the poem "Hard Luck" in the book's first section. It refers to a phrase popular in Harlem at the time, referring to citizens who would pawn fine clothes to predominantly Jewish-owned pawn shops when they were short on money. The collection was Hughes' least successful in terms of both sales and critical reception. However, his first work The Weary Blues and this collection made his reputation. Biographer Arnold Rampersad called it Hughes' "most brilliant book of poems." References External links
