Poems imagine the life and times of Phillis Wheatley In 1773, a young, African American woman named Phillis Wheatley published a book of poetry that challenged Western prejudices about African and female intellectual capabilities. Based on fifteen years of archival research, The Age of Phillis, by award-winning writer Honor e Fanonne Jeffers, imagines the life and times of Wheatley: her childhood in the Gambia, West Africa, her life with her white American owners, her friendship with Obour Tanner, and her marriage to the enigmatic John Peters. Woven throughout are poems about Wheatley's "age"--the era that encompassed political, philosophical, and religious upheaval, as well as the transatlantic slave trade. For the first time in verse, Wheatley's relationship to black people and their individual "mercies" is foregrounded, and here we see her as not simply a racial or literary symbol, but a human being who lived and loved while making her indelible mark on history. mothering #1Yaay, Someplace in the Gambia, c. 1753 after

Terrible product
Style: dog ball launcher
Terrible design. With most dog ball launchers, swinging your arm like you're throwing a baseball results in a long arching trajectory of the ball, just as expected. The same arm motion with this launcher results in the ball flying straight up. To get the ball to even move forward requires an un-natural forward snap of the wrist, and even then it doesn't travel far.
Hasn't anyone tried this out before hitting the market?

Great product
Style: dog ball launcher
Very easy to use, assemble and disassemble. Saves my arm a lot. Unfortunately once my dog runs to the ball she gets side tracked and I have to fetch it. 🫤 I highly recommend this product.
