Background Information: One of the first influential Black poets in American literature and was internationally acclaimed for his dialectic verse. Dunbar's literary body is regarded as an impressive representation of Black life in turn-of-the-century America. "Paul Laurence Dunbar stands out as the first African American poet in the United States to show a combined mastery over poetic material and poetic technique, to reveal innate literary distinction in what he wrote, and to maintain a high level of performance. He was the first to rise to a height from which he could take a perspective view of his own race. He was the first to see objectively its humor, its superstitions, its short-comings; the first to feel sympathetically its heart-wounds, its yearnings, its aspirations, and to voice them all in a purely literary form." [Johnson, Book of American Poetry]
