Something notable about this issue in particular is that it features Phillis Wheatley, the first published African American female poet. Phillis Wheatley was born in West Africa and was sold into slavery at a young age. During her time as a slave Wheatley learned to read and write, and was encouraged to write poetry.\u00a0 After her master\u2019s death, she was emancipated and married. This particular issue features three of Phillis Wheatley\u2019s poems, \u201cOn the Death of a Child, five years of Age\u201d, \u201cOn the Death of a young Gentleman\u201d and \u201cThoughts on the Works of Providence\u201d.
