Product Description
Review
"Whylah Falls is a scintillating display of language. Clarke skillfully weaves together the mythic tapestry of his African-American Loyalist community, the Bible, blues, black argot, the whole spectrum of poetry both classical and modern dance together with the energy of a Stravinsky symphony." -- Toronto Star
Book Description
The long-awaited new work from one of Canada's leading intellectuals and poets, Black is a brilliant and fiery look at race and culture. Its genesis is Clark's time at Duke University in the late '90s; that experience unleashed political and personal outrage. This poetry is white-hot with honesty and anger. It is shocking, transgressive--and ultimately transforming.
