Chadwyck-Healey Editorial Statement:
The bibliographic source for the Database of African-American Poetry
is Afro-American Poetry and Drama, 1760-1975 by W. P. French et
al. The general policy has been to use first editions whenever
possible; later
editions were selected if they were more inclusive. Where poems
appeared in their original dialect in an earlier edition and
standardised in a
later edition, both forms have been included. Poems originally
published
in periodicals have also been included. Textual apparatus and front
matter to the poems are generally ommitted, except the poet's own
notes, which
are included in the database.
