Born June 27, 1872 in Dayton, Ohio Died: February 8, 1906, Dayton, Ohio. American black poet and novelist. Born to runaway slaves, he worked as an elevator boy while devoting himself to poetry. He self-published his first collection of poems, Oak and Ivy (1893), and his second collection, Majors and Minors (95). He compiled these two works into Lyrics of Lowly Life (96), which became famous for its preface by W.D. Howells. He then gave lectures, traveled to England, and worked as the Librarian of Congress (97-98), which caused him to become overworked. He turned to novels and published works one after another, but he fell ill with tuberculosis and died at the early age of 33. His major works include the poetry collections Lyrics of Love and Laughter (1903) and Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow (05), as well as the novels The Fanatics (01) and The Sport of the Gods (02).
