After reading Anne Waldman’s Gossamurmur, I was inspired to write a literary piece that would be synonymous with hers in terms of style.

Most of the poems of Phillis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet address the themes of religion, slavery, gender and race. In my work, I will pay close attention to the themes of gender and race.
