DOES ANYBODY KNOW CLAUDE MCKAY?
Yes, my teacher has given me a project on him, he is a very interesting character.
 
==Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment==
He has proved to be more interesting than I have presumed when my assignment was given.

== Claude McKay ==
== If We Must Die ==
 
This poem was published in 1919, but the section on McKay's visit to the USSR in 1922-1923 claims that it was inspired by that visit. The latter claim must be incorrect. [[Special:Contributions/69.243.62.70|69.243.62.70]] ([[User talk:69.243.62.70|talk]]) 20:39, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
I am writing a research paper about Claude McKay and I too have found his works to be more interesting than I thought they would be. I love his poetry. He had an excellent way of using literary elements to express his views of life. With me being an inspiring poet, I am very happy that I was able to research McKay. Before this paper I did not know of Claude McKay or his works.
 
==Info on the FBI files held on McKay, declassified 2015==

== Sexuality ==
 
This section is hard to follow and needs to be rewritten (assuming that we care about it). The second paragraph of the section is unreadable - or at least what it refers to is unclear. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.95.174.225|96.95.174.225]] ([[User talk:96.95.174.225#top|talk]]) 22:40, 25 September 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Dates of composition ==
 
The dates of composition for certain texts, such as ''Romance in Marseille'' e.g., may be confusing or contradict what is on other pages. Perhaps we can either delete such dates or add context.
 
For example, ''Romance'' was composed as early as 1929 but with a different title (a fact reflected on the ''Romance in Marseille'' wiki page). But in this article, it says "(around 1933)". It's not wrong, necessarily, but slightly misleading.
 
I'm curious what other editors think, though; it may be too trivial of an edit to revise the entire page. On the other hand, 1929 is the year of the market crash, e.g., and part of McKay's writing career was arguably shaped by his financial situation. --[[User:SebastianWilliams1651|SebastianWilliams1651]] ([[User talk:SebastianWilliams1651|talk]]) 19:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
