Oak and Ivy

Gelesen von Andrew Kennedy

(3,625 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

"Oak and Ivy" is Paul Laurence Dunbar's first collection of poetry. He was by far the most successful Black American to write poetry in the so-called Negro dialect, although he also wrote a lot of verse in standard diction. His poetry and prose often speaks of the frustrated aspirations of and bleak prospects for African Americans in a white supremacist era. - Summary by TriciaG (1 hr 48 min)
