Phillis Wheatley
1753-1784
“Despite spending much of her life enslaved, Phillis Wheatley was the first African American and second woman (after Anne Bradstreet) to publish a book of poems.” – National Women’s History Museum
Miss Wheatley's Garden
“Miss Wheatley’s Garden” is named for America’s first black poet, Phillis Wheatley. Miss Wheatley is remembered for many first time accomplishments, including: first African American to publish a book; an accomplished African-American woman of letters; first African-American woman to earn a living from her writing.
Because of these accomplishments, Rosephanye titled the work “Miss Wheatley’s Garden” in honor of Phyllis Wheatley’s works, which are the garden in which many generations of African-American women poets have grown and blossomed.
Choral Music
Then, Here & Now
“Then, Here and Now” (2021), is a powerful reflection on Rosephanye’s emotional reactions to the dramatic events that transpired in 2020. It features four art songs which refer to the spirituals’ enduring messages of hope, strength, healing, freedom, and justice. Meant to be embraced by all people of all backgrounds, Rosephanye hopes that “Then, Here and Now” will bring both the performers and audience a sense of relief.
