Publisher's Synopsis
Poems of Home Life is a collection of poems written by African American poet, novelist, and playwright David Dunbar. Originally published in 1873, this book explores the themes of family, love, and everyday life in the African American community during the post-Civil War era. The poems are written in a variety of styles, including sonnets, ballads, and free verse, and they offer a unique perspective on the experiences of African Americans during this time period. Many of the poems in this collection celebrate the joys of family life, while others address the struggles and challenges faced by African Americans in a society that was still deeply divided by race. Through his poetry, Dunbar offers a powerful and moving portrait of African American life in the late 19th century, and his work continues to be celebrated for its beauty, honesty, and insight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
