Whylah Falls
Whylah Falls | George Elliott Clarke
2 posts | 1 read
Whylah Falls is a rare, beautiful, and extraordinary book of poetry-one that is in as much demand 10 years after its publication as it was when first released.Whylah Falls is a mythic community in the heart of Black Nova Scotia populated with larger-than-life characters: lovers young and old, murderers, muses, and musicians. The powerful and sensuous narrative sings with the rhythm of blues and gospel, spinning a complex, absorbing tale of unrequited love, earthy wisdom, devouring corruption, and racial justice.

Such an important work in Canadian poetry. Do people outside Canada know of this poetry collection which describes a mythic community in Black Nova Scotia? Since its publication in 1990 it has inspired an acclaimed radio-play, a popular stage play and the feature film, One Heart Broken Into Song. Highly recommended ✊🏿
