DUNBAR, Paul Laurence

Lyrics of Love and Laughter

First edition. Very light rubbing and a couple of tiny dents to the foredge still a nice, about fine copy. A collection that encompasses the poems that were originally published in his first two books, Oak and Ivy and Majors and Minors, with the addition of eleven new poems. This copy Inscribed by the author to his mother, Matilda Dunbar: "To Ma With her son's love." Matilda Dunbar was the dedicatee of each of her son's first two books, and while she is not here so named, one is hard pressed to imagine a better association than the one between the author and the mother who taught him to read, write and appreciate poetry. As nice a copy as one could hope to own.
