Autorenporträt
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) was an influential American poet, novelist, and playwright, celebrated as one of the first African American writers to gain national recognition. Born in Dayton, Ohio, to formerly enslaved parents, Dunbar showed literary talent from a young age. He wrote in both standard English and African American vernacular, capturing the struggles and resilience of Black life in post-Civil War America. Notable works include the poetry collections Lyrics of Lowly Life and Majors and Minors, featuring iconic poems like "Sympathy" (inspiring the phrase "I know why the caged bird sings"). Dunbar's work continues to resonate for its artistry and cultural significance.
