First published in 1899, Lyrics of the Hearthside is a collection of poetry by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906). Dunbar was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet during the turn of the 20th century. Born to ex-slave parents, Dunbar began writing at a very early age and had even published his first poems by the age of 16 in a local newspaper. Much of his work was written in the African-American Vernacular associated with the antebellum South, although he also employed conventional English in his novels and poems. Dunbar was among the very first African-American writers to garner international acclaim for their work. This volume contains a collection of Dunbar's powerful poetry for the enjoyment of a new generation. A fantastic collection that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of African Americans at the turn of the century. Contents include: Love's Apotheosis, The Paradox, Over the Hills, With the Lark, In Summer, The Mystic Sea, A Sailor's Song, The Bohemian, Absence, Her Thought and His, The Right to Die, etc. Other notable works by this author include: Oak and Ivy (1892), Majors and Minors (1896), and Lyrics of Lowly Life (1896). Ragged Hand are proudly republishing this classic collection of poetry, complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
