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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Elliott Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771838396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771838399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Guernica Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.00w x 2.10d","brand":"George Elliott Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756655407359,"sku":"9781771838399","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5c414c6-4d49-4fe3-b274-a3db214edea3.jpg?v=1706593529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canticles-iii-george-elliott-clarke-9781771838399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
