Poet Robert Hayden is the subject of this 1975 publicity portrait, made for *Angle of Ascent*, his collection of new and selected poems. Born in Detroit in 1913, Hayden taught for many years at Fisk University in Nashville, and his poetry often drew on African American history, including the Amistad mutiny in "Middle Passage." The record dates the print to about 1975 and credits the photograph to Timothy D. Franklin, and it belongs to the Library's group of 1970s publicity portraits of writers.
