Liberia Outreach

For more than two decades, Wesley’s poetry has given voice to the voiceless, the hundreds of thousands of Liberian war dead through its exploration of themes on the plight of the refugee of war, the new African Diaspora mother/wife and African femininity, motherhood, home, displacement, and the survivor as witness. Her newest publication, Breaking the Silence: Anthology of Liberian Poetry, the most comprehensive volume of Liberian literature of any genre since before that nation’s independence, was released in January, 2023.
