Contemplating Mistress: Sally Hemings and the Literary Imagination

Chet’la Sebree will read from her debut poetry collection Mistress, which investigates black female representation and experiences through the voices of a contemporary speaker and Sally Hemings, the enslaved woman with whom Jefferson had children. Throughout Sebree’s reading, she’ll discuss her research and the complexities of integrating it into poetry.

This event is part of the Roots/Routes Series sponsored by the Arts & Ideas Program at Framingham State University.
