Patricia Jabbeh Wesley is professor of English, creative writing and literature at Penn State Altoona.
Patricia Jabbeh Wesley's latest book, When the Wanderers Come Home, was recently reviewed in World Literature Today by poet and literary scholar Matthew Shenoda. In the review, titled, "Verse Africa: The Malleable Poetics of Some Contemporary African Poets," Shenoda states “In Wesley’s poetry we see the immense power of a poet working to express the human complexity and grief of a nation and her people often defined by war. Wesley is a poet working to find language that can help show the fractures and fissures of a postwar nation and the personal realities of displacement and return.”
