Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyrics of Lowly Life In fact, from every part of Ohio and from several cities of the adjoining States, there came letters in cordial appreciation of the critical recognition which it was my pleasure no less than my duty to offer Paul Dunbar's work in another place. It seemed to me a happy omen for him that so many people who had known him, or known of him, were glad of a stranger's good word 5 and it was gratifying to see that at home he was esteemed for the things he had done rather than because as the son of negro slaves he had done them. If a prophet is Often without honor in his own country, it surely is nothing against him when he has it. In this case it deprived me of the glory of a discoverer but that is sometimes a barren joy, and I am always willing to forego it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar: With the Introduction to "Lyrics of Lowly Life" I 71mm I should scarcely trouble the reader with a special appeal in behalf of this book, if it had not specially appealed to me for reasons apart from the author's race, origin, and condition. The world is too old now, and I find myself too much of its mood, to care for the work of a poet because he is black, because his father and mother were slaves, because he was, before and after he began to write poems, an elevator-boy. These facts would certainly attract metohimasaman, iflknew him to have a literary ambition, but when it came to his literary art, I must judge it irrespective of these facts, and enjoy or endure it for what it was in itself.

Download or read book Lyrics of a Lowly Life written by Paul Laurence Dunbar and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyrics of Lowly Life (1896) is a collection of poems by African American author Paul Laurence Dunbar. Published while Dunbar was at a turning point in his career as one of the nation’s leading black poets, Lyrics of Lowly Life combined his hugely successful volumes Oak and Ivy (1892) and Majors and Minors (1896), establishing his reputation as an artist with a powerful vision of faith and perseverance who sought to capture and examine the diversity of the African American experience. In “The Poet and His Song,” Dunbar compares the art of poetry to tilling the soil, a slow and painstaking process requiring full commitment, body and soul, to the task at hand: “My days are never days of ease; / I till my ground and prune my trees. / When ripened gold is all the plain, / I put my sickle to the grain. / I labor hard, and toil and sweat, / While others dream within the dell; / But even while my brow is wet, / I sing my song, and all is well.” For Dunbar, the reward is the song itself, both an act of labor and a celebration of life, emphasizing the role of the poet as not just a dreamer, but a doer. Throughout this collection, Dunbar explores the role of the poet in society, grounding each poem within his identity as a black man in America. In “Frederick Douglass,” an elegy written for the occasion of the great man’s passing, Dunbar makes clear the consequences of pride and defiance in a nation built by slaves: “He dared the lightning in the lightning’s track, / And answered thunder with his thunder back.” With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s Lyrics of Lowly Life is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.
Download or read book Dusty Lyrics Classic Reprint written by Moses Mitchell Hodson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dusty Lyrics Such is the title by which the author of Dusty Lyrics prefers to be known to the pubic at large, as it has fitted him so well during the twenty years that he has "had one hand in the hopper and the other in the sack." Mr. Hodson is a typical verification of the truth that "poets are born, not made," for to him the writing of "Jingles" came as naturally as breathing. For many years he composed verses at the mill, and recited them to customers while they waited for their grists; and each of these told his neighbor of the witty sayings Mose had recited. Sometimes it was a pathetic verse or two, when a Serious incident or searching sermon touched and warmed his heart. Until five or six years ago Mose hid his poetical gift among the meal sacks, but when an ardent admirer of his writings suggested that a certain poem should be published, he timidly sent it to one of the county papers. Possibly the poem that first attracted wide attention was the one entitled "That Man Jim," and dedicated to James Whitcomb Riley on a birthday anniversary. A copy of this published poem was sent to Mr. Riley by a personal friend of both gentlemen, accompanied by a letter praising some of the writings of Mr. Hodson.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyrics of a Life In the following Poems there is no bond of connection one with another - no continuous story or thread of narrative running through them all. Their composition extends over a period of between sixty and seventy years. A few of them were written in the early teens of the Author, others in maturer life, and some, "The Songs of Nature," were written, most of them in his eightieth and eighty-second years. This will account for the juvenile simplicity of some of the Poems, and the somewhat deeper strain and more reflective character of others.
