Hear from distinguished Professor David Waldstreicher, author of The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley: A Poet's Journey Through American Slavery and Independence. His new book is the most deeply researched biography of the poet. This is a paradigm-shattering account of Phillis Wheatley, whose extraordinary poetry set African-American literature at the heart of the American Revolution.
