TCU Library

The Genius of Phillis Wheatley Peters (PWP) programming continues from the Fall Semester with an awesome lineup of poets on Thursday Sept. 7, 4:30 pm eastern time.  Poet/scholars Drea Brown (US) and Alison Clarke (Canada) discuss and read from their Wheatley-inspired writing, moderated by UGA CW director Dr. Aruni Kashyap. Drs. McCaskill and Robbins of the PWP team will assist in navigating the Q&A.  Your questions, comments, and thoughts about the resonances of Wheatley in contemporary poetry and spoken word literature are the stars of this panel, too.
