Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), the son of formerly enslaved parents and the first African American poet to win national and international fame, wrote in an age that gave him every reason for despair, and answered it, again and again, with hope.
This volume gathers the most hopeful and affirming poems from his two great collections, Lyrics of Lowly Life (1896) and Lyrics of the Hearthside (1899): lyrics of faith and perseverance (Not They Who Soar, Keep A-Pluggin' Away, For the Man Who Fails), of love and the turning seasons, and of plain human joy. The selection is weighted to his standard-English verse, with a handful of his sunniest dialect songs among them.
