Phillis Wheatley (c.1753 - 1784) Phillis Wheatley was America's first black poet. Born in Senegal, Africa, around 1753, she was transported to Boston in 1761 to be sold on the slave market. John Wheatley, a tailor from Boston, purchased her as a child to serve his wife. Soon Wheatley was accepted as a member of the family and Mary Wheatley, John's daughter, was made her personal tutor. She learned English with remarkable speed and although she never attended a formal school, also learned Greek and Latin. At the age of 13 Wheatley began writing poetry. Her first published poem 'On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin' appeared in the Newport Mercury in 1767. In the following years, a number of poems appeared in various publications in and around Boston. The publication of a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitefield in 1770 made Wheatley a sensation. As a result Countess Selina of Huntingdon, a close friend of Whitefield, invited Wheatley to England and assisted the young woman in the publication of her poems. In 1773, a volume was published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral

Wheatley, Phillis Phillis Wheatley Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; neg. no.

She was treated kindly in the Wheatley household, almost as a third daughter. The Wheatleys soon recognized her talents and gave her privileges unusual for a slave, allowing her to learn to read and write. In less than two years, under the tutelage of Mrs. Wheatley and her daughters, Phillis had mastered English; she went on to learn Greek and Latin and caused a stir among Boston scholars by translating a tale from Ovid. From the age of 14 she wrote exceptionally mature, if conventional, poetry that was largely concerned with morality and piety. Wheatley's better known pieces include "To the University of Cambridge in New England," "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty," "On the Death of Rev. Dr. Sewall," and "An Elegiac Poem, on the Death of the Celebrated Divine...George Whitefield," the last of which was the first of her poems to be published, in 1770. She was escorted by Mr. Wheatley's son to London in 1773, and there her first book, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral
