About the author

Paul Laurence Dunbar

1872–1906

Among the first Black American writers to gain a national audience, this gifted poet and storyteller wrote with musical language, sharp feeling, and a deep sense of everyday life. His work ranges from tender lyric poems to dialect verse and fiction that helped shape American literature at the turn of the 20th century.
