Summary "The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar" by Paul Laurence Dunbar is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. This anthology brings together the works of one of the first African American poets to gain national recognition for his literary contributions, reflecting the complexities of Black life in America. The poems explore themes of love, struggle, joy, and identity, employing both Standard English and dialect to give voice to the experiences of the African American community of the time. The opening of this collection features an introduction by W. D. Howells, emphasizing Dunbar’s significance as a pivotal literary figure and the cultural importance of his work. Howells articulates an appreciation for Dunbar's ability to capture the essence of Negro life with humor and sincerity, arguing that his poems serve as a crucial narrative amidst a history of oppression. The early verses prominently illustrate Dunbar's exploration of emotional depth and the duality of life experiences, laying the groundwork for the profound and heartfelt expressions that characterize his poetry throughout the collection.
