SHE LOVED HIM She walked into light on long golden rays during a New York City sunset She tried to fuss with the dusk after she and the sun met but it was tough The sun seared her lips shut with a kiss before disappearing behind the horizon so she sat on a wooden bench in silence She was sad For she didn’t get a chance to say to the sun good bye and I love you

Jupiter Hammon (b. 1711), the first published African American poet, was born into slavery at Henry Lloyd’s estate on Lloyd Neck, Long Island, New York. Hammon was purportedly allowed access to the manor library and was educated with the estate owner’s children, even working with Henry Lloyd in his business ventures. After Lloyd’s death, he lived with his son, Joseph Lloyd. Hammon’s first work, the broadside An Evening Thought (also referred to as “An Evening Prayer” and “An Evening’s Thought: Salvation by Christ, with Penitential Cries”), was published in 1760. Considered a religious poet, Hammon also served as a preacher to the other enslaved members of the Lloyd estate. He was a prominent member of the African American community, and in 1787 made a speech to the African Society of New York City titled “An Address to the Negroes in the State of New York.”

Bars Fight by Lucy Terry Prince (1746)

Bars Fight is a ballad about an attack upon two white families by Native Americans on August 25, 1746. The attack occurred in an area of Deerfield called "The Bars", which was a colonial term for a meadow. The poem was preserved orally until it was finally published in 1855 in Josiah Gilbert Holland's History of Western Massachusetts. This poem is the only known work by Terry. Lucy Terry Prince is the second African American to be published with Phillis Wheatley's, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, 1773 being the first.
