{"product_id":"selected-poems-dover-thrift-editions-black-history","title":"Selected Poems (Dover Thrift Editions: Black History)","description":"Dubbed the \"Poet Laureate of the Negro race\" by Booker T. Washington, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906) is best known for his lively dialect poems. In addition to his dialect verse, however, Dunbar also wrote fine poems in standard English that captured many elements of the black experience in America.\nThis volume contains a representative cross-section of both types of verse, including \"Ode to Ethiopia,\" \"Worn Out,\" \"Not They Who Soar,\" \"When Malindy Sings,\" \"We Wear the Mask,\" \"Little Brown Baby,\" \"Dinah Kneading Dough,\" \"The Haunted Oak,\" \"Black Samson of Brandywine\" and many more.\nA rich amalgam of lyrics encompassing patriotism, a celebration of rural life and homey pleasures, anger at the inequalities accorded his race, and faith in ultimate justice, this collection affords readers an excellent opportunity to enjoy the distinctive voice and poetic technique of one of the most beloved and widely read African-American poets.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486299805\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0486299805.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paul Laurence Dunbar\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
