Lyrics of Lowly Life is a collection of poems written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, an African-American poet, novelist, and playwright. The book was originally published in 1896 and is considered one of Dunbar's most important works. The poems in this collection explore the experiences of African Americans living in the late 19th century, including themes of poverty, racism, and discrimination. The language used in the poems is a mixture of standard English and African American dialect, which was a common feature of Dunbar's writing. Despite the difficult subject matter, the poems in Lyrics of Lowly Life are often uplifting and celebrate the resilience and strength of the human spirit. The collection includes some of Dunbar's most famous poems, such as We Wear the Mask and Sympathy, which is also known as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Overall, Lyrics of Lowly Life is a powerful and important work of American literature that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
