Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral by Phillis Wheatley

This collection of poetry covers a wide range of topics. Most of the poems are religious and meant to console the reader for losses suffered during this earthly life (many poems feature dead loved ones waiting for the live in Heaven). The poems are mostly written in heroic couplets. Wheatley uses some really beautiful imagery to express herself.
