Halifax Public Libraries are very pleased to have wordsmiths George Elliot Clarke and El Jones appearing at our North Branch Library on Wednesday evening, February 2nd. As part of a larger speaking tour, these two awesome presenters will entertain and inform audiences about the history of Black refugees coming to Nova Scotia from the War of 1812.
I have a real fondness for George Elliot Clarke’s talent, especially his novel George & Rue. I also had the great pleasure of hearing George read at the North branch in 2004 from his libretto, Québécité : a jazz fantasia in three cantos. It may be the most enjoyable reading I have ever attended. George is a person overflowing with positive energy, which is very infectious and uplifting. Any event with George Elliot Clarke gets a strong recommendation from me!
