Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral : ウィキペディア英語版 | Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral ''Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral by Phillis Wheatley, Negro Servant to Mr. John Wheatley, of Boston, in New England'' (published 1773) is a collection of 39 poems written by Phillis Wheatley (1753 – December 5, 1784?) the first professional African-American woman poet in America and the first African-American woman whose writings were published.〔''Phillis Wheatley: America's second Black Poet and Her Encounters with the Founding Fathers'' by Henry Louis Gates, Basic Civitas Books, 2003, p. 5.〕 ==Significance==
Phillis Wheatley broke barriers as the first American black woman poet to be published, opening the door for future black authors. James Weldon Johnson, author, politician, diplomat and one of the first African-American professors at New York University, wrote of Wheatley that "she is not a great American poet—and in her day there were no great American poets—but she is an important American poet. Her importance, if for no other reason, rests on the fact that, save one, she is the first in order of time of all the women poets of America. And she is among the first of all American poets to issue a volume."〔 Referenced April 28, 2010.〕
