Wheatley was born on the western coast of Africa and kidnapped from the Senegal-Gambia region when she was about seven years old. Not being of suitable age to be sold as a slave in the West Indies or the southern colonies, she was transported to Boston, where she was purchased in 176l by John Wheatley, a prominent tailor, as an attendant to his wife. Phillis learned English quickly and was taught to read and write, and within sixteen months of her arrival in America she was reading passages from the Bible, Greek and Latin classics, astronomy, geography, history, and British literature. Phillis published her first poem in the Newport, Rhode Island

Extractions: Listen to narrative (need RealPlayer - free download A young girl believed to be between the ages of six and eight came to America aboard a slave ship in 1761. This young girl, Phillis Wheatley, was believed to have come from Ethiopia or Senegal, West Africa, and left a substantial mark on American history. She was to overcome the inhumane institution of slavery to become one of this country's greatest poets and the first black American woman to publish a book. Luckily for Phillis Wheatley she was purchased by John Wheatley, a wealthy merchant tailor, for his wife Susannah. Once in the Wheatley home, Phillis was treated as a daughter and assigned chores relative to the status of a lady. Phillis exhibited an astounding ability to learn and in just sixteen months she mastered the English language. At the age of 14, she began to write poetry and quickly gained the attention of the most distinguished Bostonians. In 1770, only nine years after her arrival to this country, she published her poem, "On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield", which gained the attention of the Countess of Huntington in England. Three years later, Phillis visited England and before she left, the Countess arranged to have a volume of her poems published. In 1773, the first book of poems by an American black woman was published

http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/APRcp.html

Extractions: In 1753, a young girl was born in West Africa unbeknownst of what fate had laid before her. Seven years later she was kidnapped in the Senegal-Gambia region when she was about seven years old. Being so young of age she could not be sold as a slave in the West Indies or the southern colonies, she was transported to Boston where she was bought by John Wheatley, a prominent and rich merchant, in 1761. Being so young and thin she was assigned as a domestic servant to Mrs. Susannah Wheatley who immediately took pity on her. It was thus this young malnourished girl was given the Christian name Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley's first poem, 'On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin,' published in 1767, was a religious piece about two sailors who narrowly escaped drowning; its theme was that through the will of God alone the sailors survived. Over the next five years Wheatley accumulated about 30 poems which her master, John Wheatley, tried to help her publish as a book. This project was hampered by the skepticism of publishers, who did not believe that an African-American was capable of producing such correct and conventional verses. To dispel rumors of dishonesty, Wheatley took the extraordinary step of allowing herself to be examined by a committee of Boston's leading dignitaries, including the Governor and several eminent ministers, and they wrote a testimonial stating that they had examined her and believed that she really was the author of the poems concerned. Her book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in 1773. She was twenty years old.

Extractions: Wheatley, engraving attributed to Scipio Moorhead, from the frontispiece of her 1773 book Corbis-Bettmann (b. c. 1753, Senegal, West Africad. Dec. 5, 1784, Boston, Mass., U.S.), the first black woman poet of note in the United States. She was sold from a slave ship in Boston in 1761 to work for the family of John Wheatley, a merchant. The Wheatleys soon recognized her talents and gave her privileges unusual for a slave, allowing her to learn to read and write. At the age of 14 she began to write poetry, and her first published work, "An Elegiac Poem, on the Death of the Celebrated Divine . . . George Whitefield" (1770), attracted much attention. In 1773 her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in England under the sponsorship of the Countess of Huntingdon, and Wheatley's reputation spread in Europe as well as in America. A poem published in 1776, dedicated to George Washington, brought her further acclaim. The dissolution of the Wheatley family by death left Phillis Wheatley alone, and in April 1778 she married John Peters, a free black man who failed in business and apparently also failed to support Phillis and her children. At the end of her life she was working as a servant, and she died in poverty. Wheatley's poetry, largely concerned with morality and piety, was conventional for its time. Her significance stems from the attention that she drew to her successful education. Her poems were reissued in the 1830s by Abolitionists eager to prove the human potential of blacks.

Extractions: The gifted young black poet Phillis Wheatley (ca. 1753-1784) was celebrated as "the extraordinary poetical genius" of colonial New England even before this compilation of her poems was published in September 1773. Not yet eight years old when she was brought to America from Africa in 1761, Wheatley was educated by her mistress, and her first poem was published in a Rhode Island newspaper when she was only fourteen. Her pious elegies for prominent English and colonial leaders became popular and were often reprinted in colonial newspapers or as broadsides. Wheatley's 1773 visit to London, ostensibly to improve her frail condition, was cut short by her mistress' failing health. Although she was entertained by William Legge, Earl of Dartmouth, the abolitionist Grenville Sharpe, John Thornton, and Benjamin Franklin, Wheatley did not meet her patron, Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, to whom she dedicated her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.

http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0214_Phillis_Wheatley.html

Extractions: Born in 1753 in Africa, Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped and sold at a slave auction at age seven to a prosperous Boston family who educated her and treated her as a family member. Rescued from an otherwise hopeless situation by the sympathies of the Wheatley family, Phillis learned English with remarkable speed, and, although she never attended a formal school, she also learned Greek and Latin. It is clear that the Christian compassion of the Wheatley family was the nurturing womb in which Phillis' rare gifts were cultivated. She came to know the Bible well; and three English poets - Milton, Pope and Gray - touched her deeply and exerted a strong influence on her verse. She became a sensation in Boston in the 1760s when her poem on the death of the Reverend George Whitefield made her famous. Whitefield, the great evangelical preacher who frequently toured New England, happened to be a close friend of Countess Selina of Huntington, and the latter invited Phillis to London to assist her in the publication of her poems. Her literary gifts, intelligence, and piety were a striking example to her English and American audience of the triumph of human capacities over the circumstances of birth. The only hint of injustice found in any of her poems is in the line "Some view our sable race with scornful eye" - it would be almost a hundred years before another black writer would drop the mask of convention and write openly about the African-American experience.
