Debt

Debt

by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Debt, a collection of poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar, explores the complex and often contradictory experiences of African Americans in the late 19th century. Written in a variety of styles, from traditional sonnets to dialect poems, the poems in Debt grapple with themes of race, identity, freedom, and slavery. Dunbar's use of language is both lyrical and incisive, and his poems offer a powerful and moving account of the African American experience.
