LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Then And Now by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

This was the Weekly Poetry project for January 12, 2025. ------

Much of Dunbar's more popular work in his lifetime was written in the "Negro dialect" associated with the antebellum South, though he also used the Midwestern regional dialect of James Whitcomb Riley. Dunbar also wrote in conventional English in other poetry and novels and is considered the first important African American sonnet writer. - Summary by Wikipedia
