THE LUCKY TEN THOUSAND SEASON 4 Ep 4: PHYLLIS WHEATLEY w/BRIAN REEDER!!
from Lucky 10,000 · host Evan Harris
Where we discuss the life and poetry of the first African American female published poet, Phyllis Wheatley. Her prose is gorgeous, her life is conflict in art defined. With guest Brian Reeder, we also get into one of the most frank discussions of race ever in the history of the show. Miss Wheatley was a poet while still a slave, and her work always seemed to be grateful for the life that she lived. This contradiction makes her fascinating and important, if a little difficult to wrap our minds around.. but we try. Thanks Reason Define for the awesome song, check them out at https://www.reasondefine.com/
