Rachel Jamison Webster has published five books, including Benjamin Banneker and Us: Eleven Generations of an American Family (Holt 2023), which was named a Best Book by The New Yorker and was an Editor’s Pick at The New York Times. Her book, Mary is a River, was a finalist for the National Poetry Series. Rachel’s book, The Sea Came Up & Drowned combines “mined” poetry and her visual collages to meditate on our extractive economy and our fractured relationship to the earth and its peoples. Rachel teaches in the English Department at Northwestern University.
