Phillis Wheatley's poetry continues to inspire and to challenge us. Poets Artress Bethany White and Danielle Legros Georges brought together twenty contemporary Black women poets to reinterpret, or reimagine, Phillis Wheatley Peters' poems. Today, in addition to Artress and Danielle, we are joined by two of the poets, Florence Ladd and Yalie Saweda Kamara. Their collection Wheatley at 250: : Black Women Poets Re-Imagine the Verse of Phillis Wheatley Peters, a poetic conversation among past, present, and future, features both the poems of Phillis Wheatley and their contemporary re-imagining.
