I always learn something from conversations with Cassander Smith & Tara Bynum -- and you can too! With many thanks to Abigail Eplin for facilitating this conversation. So grateful to see so much attention to Phillis Wheatley in this 250th anniversary year of her poetry volume!!!

Looking forward to listening to this, having just taught Wheatley.

Our Digital Media Editor sat down with the three guest editors behind our special issue “Dear Sister: Phillis Wheatley’s Futures,” to talk about what every college student should know about Phillis Wheatley. You won’t want to miss it.
