Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Poetry can inspire, evoke, provoke and transport the reader. But this collection of 39 poems did even more - it broke barriers. This collection was written by Phillis Wheatley, the first African-American woman whose poetry writings were published. Seized from West Africa as a young girl, Phillis lived in Boston as a slave to the prominent Wheatley family where she learned to read and write, as well as undertaking lessons in the Bible, astronomy, geography, history and British, Greek and Latin Literature. By the age of 18, Phillis had amassed a decent quantity of poems and together with the Wheatley family, sought out a publisher. However, based on racial prejudices, Phillis was received with disdain in the United States. Attention was turned to London instead, where Phillis posted one of her poems, 'On the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield', to Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon and a well-off supporter of the abolitionist cause, who connected her with a bookseller although Wheatley still had to go through interrogation to prove that she was the author of her own work. This collection of poems shows the breadth and depth of her reading, and includes poems reflecting her Christian faith, her interest in Greek mythology and her admiration for well-known figures including Alexander Pope. 'Poems on Various Subjects' is perfect for people who have read 'The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano'. Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) was an American poet who was the first African-American writer to be published. She was born in West Africa, sold into slavery aged seven or eight, then bought by the Wheatley family of Boston. They encouraged her to pursue her poetry as her talent became clear. But Wheatley had to go to London to find patrons to help her get her work published. When 'Poems on Various Subjects' was published in 1773, she gained fame in England and the African colonies - even receiving praise from George Washington and Voltaire. After being emancipated, she married the grocer John Peters. But they slipped into poverty and Phillis died in obscurity at the age of 31.

Pages : 204
Book Description
Eliza Roxcy Snow (1804-1887) was one of the most important and influential first-generation members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served as the second President of the Relief Society from the time of its reestablishment in 1866 to her death. She was a plural wife to both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and the older sister of Lorenzo Snow. Snow's most enduring legacy is as a poet; she is frequently referred to as "Zion's Poetess." Of the hundreds of poems she wrote over the course of her life, the single most loved is the hymn, O My Father, which was the first open promulgation of the doctrine of a Mother in Heaven within Mormonism. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
