Phillis Wheatley
(17537-1784)
At five or six years of age. the black girl whose name
we know now as Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped from
her home in Africa and brought to America as a slave.
She was an intelligent girl. With the unusual encouragement
of the Boston family who owned her, within 16
months of her arrival she had learned to speak and write
English. By the time she was thirteen she had begun to
write poetry, and in I 770 her first poem was published.
ABy 1773 the Wheatley family had freed Phillis and
Wht^her to London in hopes of improving her health,
which had been failing for some time. It was in Londornn
I / IS that her only book was published. POEMS ON
VARIOUS SUBJECTS. RELIGIOUS AND MORAL. It was
not only the first volume of poems written and published
by an American slave (or ex-slave by then), but was very .
popular long after her death. She married a free black
man named John Peters in 1778. Living in poverty, the
couple had three children, none of whom survived. She
died at 32 years of age in I 784.
Imamu Amiri Baraka
(1934- )
Not since Richard Wright has a black author impressed
his ideas, his style and technique upon a generation of
fellow writers with the force of Imamu Amiri Baraka.
Through his artistic, aesthetic, cultural, political, and
spiritual example, he helped determine forever the direction
taken by black literature in America. His impressive
body of writings encompasses poetry, short stories, a
novel, numerous plays, and sociological studies of black
music.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, as Everett LeRoi Jones in :
1934, he made the pilgrimage from avant-garde Beat
poet, editor, and jazz critic in the '50's to the discovery :
of his spiritual identity as a minister of the Kawaida faith.
Much of the tone, idiom, rage, and pride of the black
poetry of the 1960 s was shaped by Baraka's intensely
individualistic manner. Always searching for his authentic
voice as an artist, he moved restlessly from one peak to
anotherrbften leaving his followers and imitators to continue
the styles and points of view which he had used and
sometimes abandoned.
Many of the more talented writers did follow him as he
showed the way to successfully discard, as far as possible,
a culture he saw as racist, alien, and decadent and to
replace it with the black aesthetics and values which must
be used to express authentic black identities. A partial
listing of his many published works would include
PREFACE TO A TWENTY VOLUME SUICIDE NOTE
(1961). THE DEAD LECTURER (1964). and BLACK
MAGIC (1969) - poetry.
