The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; David Lawrence; Foon; Garth Burton; Graham Scott; Hypatia; Jennifer Fournier; Jude; Kirsten Bradby; Lee Ann Howlett; Larry Wilson; Mark Ernest; Matt Bounds; Nedge; Phil Schempf; RajVO; Thomas Ermon; Tomas Peter; tovarisch What struck me in reading Mr. Dunbar's poetry was what had already struck his friends in Ohio and Indiana, in Kentucky and Illinois. They had felt, as I felt, that however gifted his race had proven itself in music, in oratory, in several of the other arts, here was the first instance of an American negro who had evinced innate distinction in literature. (W.D. Howells in the Introduction to The Compete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar)
