Canticles III (MMXXII): Volume 298

More about the book

Exploring the Transatlantic Slave Trade and colonialism, the epic poem delves into themes of resistance and cultural identity. The later sections reinterpret scriptures through an African lens, culminating in a focus on the African Baptist Association of Nova Scotia. This work stands as a unique contribution to Canadian literature, blending influences from poets like Pound and Walcott while maintaining Clarke's distinct voice. It represents a profound exploration of history, theology, and the African diaspora's experience.
