“A radical new vision of the life and work of colonial America’s brilliant Black female poet” says the New York Times of David Waldstreicher’s new biography of Phillis Wheatley.  Marking the 250^th anniversary of the publication of Wheatley’s collection of poetry, Professor Waldstreicher offers a fresh and full account of the poet’s life and works, correcting myths, reconstructing intimate friendships, and deepening our understanding of her verse and the revolutionary era.
