(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Sean Qualls. A first-person narrator addresses readers conversationally (sometimes irritatingly so) in this biography of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century African American poet. Dunbar's poems are placed throughout the book, introducing both his work and life story. Qualls's black-and-white illustrations are full of action and emotion, enhancing the informative text. Timeline. Bib., ind.
