Nov. 13: English Dept. hosts poetry reading by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers

Please join us for a reading and conversation with award-winning poet Honorée Fanonne Jeffers as she shares work from her recent book, The Age of Phillis. Based on over a decade worth of research, The Age of Phillis fills in biographical gaps in what we know about the remarkable life of Phillis Wheatley Peters, often called the mother of African American literature.
