The Age of Phillis by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers

5.0

This is one of the most incredible poetry collections I have ever read! After loving Love Songs last year I had to pick up some poetry from Miss Jeffers. The range of style is incredible, the scope, the subject matter, the RESEARCH! I'm talking about primary source documents, I'm talking about PhD, early America historian level research...for a poetry collection! I've never read anything like it. Incredible as a poetry collection, but also rewriting the wrongs in history's telling of Phillis Wheatley.
