Ballads of Remembrance by Robert Hayden

In 1962, Robert Hayden wrote a series of poems titled "Memorial Ballad". The series consists of 36 poems divided into 4 groups. Each group refers to a different memorial focus; for example, the group focuses on the African-American struggle in finding identity and transcendence. "The Winter Sundays" is part of a collection that collects poetry in honor of Hayden's childhood, past, and personal struggle. Hayden's childhood was very serious and inconsistent.

Robert Hayden's parents were born to Asabanti Sheffi to become a poor family. For extreme myopia, Hayden looked at books rather than his childhood sports. Some of his most famous poems are in his souvenir collection. Hayden was the first African American appointed as a poetry consultant at the Library of Congress. Formal and elegant poetry about Hayden's black history gave him many other important prizes. "Robert Hayden is widely accepted," Frederick Glasser said in "Hayden's Anthology", "He is the best craftworker in African American poetry."

A memorial song won the poetry prize at the 1st World Black Art Festival held in Dakar, Senegal. The collection after Hayden's poetry, including "Poetry selection" (1966), the words of "The era of mourning" (1970), the nomination of the National Book Awards, the flowers of the night bloomed (1972) : New Poems and Poetry (1975) American Journal (1978) is also a National Book Award nomination and continues to raise the reputation as one of America's most respected poets. In 1969, Hayden returned to the University of Michigan as a British professor there until his death. In 1976, Hayden was appointed a poetry consultant at the Library of Congress, later known as an American poet. This is the first time that African Americans received honor. Other literary honors of Hayden include the Russell Loan Award of the National Academy of Arts and Letters of 1970 and the American Poetry Academy Scholarship of 1977.
