Raymond Garfield Dandridge (1882/1883–1930)[1] was an American poet who was born and lived in Cincinnati, Ohio.[2] In 1911 he was affected by hemiplegia, leaving him bedridden for the rest of his life. He subsequently taught himself to write with his left hand.[2] He published three volumes of poetry: Penciled Poems (Powell & White, 1917), The Poet and Other Poems (Powell & White, 1920), and Zalka Peetruza and Other Poems (McDonald, 1928).[3] Influenced by Paul Laurence Dunbar, he wrote many of his poems in African-American dialect.[2] He made his living primarily by selling coal by telephone,[4] and was also literary editor of the Cincinnati Journal.[2]
