That is the subject of\u003cem\u003e Canticles I (MMXVI)\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e(MMXVII)\u003c\/em\u003e. In \u003cem\u003eCanticles II (MMXIX)\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e(MMXX)\u003c\/em\u003e, Clarke rewrites significant scriptures from an oral and \"African\" or \"Africadian\" perspective. Now, in \u003cem\u003eCanticles III (MMXXII)\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e(MMXXIII)\u003c\/em\u003e, Clarke shifts focus--from world history and theology -- to the specific history and bios associated with the creation of the African (\"Africadian\") Baptist Association of Nova Scotia. By so doing, he concludes the most remarkable epic ever essayed in Canadian letters -- an amalgam of Pound and Walcott -- but entirely and inimitably his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed for his narrative lyric suites (\u003ci\u003eWhylah Falls\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExecution Poems\u003c\/i\u003e), his lyric \"colouring books\" (\u003ci\u003eBlue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlack\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Red\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Gold\u003c\/i\u003e), his selected poems (\u003ci\u003eBlues\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBliss\u003c\/i\u003e), his opera libretti and plays (\u003ci\u003eBeatrice Chancy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTrudeau: Long March, Shining Path\u003c\/i\u003e), George Elliott Clarke presents us with his now-completed epic, \u003ci\u003e Canticles\u003c\/i\u003e, a work that views History as a web of imperialism, enslavement, and insurrection. A native Africadian, Canada's 7th Parliamentary Poet Laureate ranges the atlas and ransacks the library to ink lines unflinching before Atrocity and unquiet before Oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 8.6 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47351913316601,"sku":"9781771838399","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZkaBC32RmG9781771838399_ac23fcf7-595c-4273-9d2f-9337c0ad7cc8.webp?v=1769805227","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/canticles-iii-mmxxiii-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
