[ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON September 1, 2022] For part three of our August Full Bio series, we speak with Gene Jarrett, dean of the faculty and English professor at Princeton, and author of a new biography about the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, called, Paul Laurence Dunbar: The Life and Times of a Caged Bird. For this installment, we learn about the women in Dunbar's life, like how he met his wife, Alice Nelson Dunbar. But we also speak about Dunbar's own demons, and his struggles with depression and alcohol abuse throughout his life. Plus, we hear WNYC's Michael Hill read a selection of Dunbar's poetry.
