Canticles II: (MMXIX)

Canticles is a lyric-styled epic. This second testament–Canticles II (MMXIX) and Canticles II (MMXX)–issues re-readings–revisions, rewrites–of scriptures crucial to the emergent (Anglophone) African Diaspora in the Americas. Canticles II (MMXIX) follows Testament I (also issued in two parts–Canticles I (MMXVI) and Canticles I (MMXVII)) whose subject is History, principally, of slavery and imperialism and liberation and independence. Canticles II, the second part of a trilogy, is properly irreverent where necessary, but never blasphemous. It is scripture become what it always is, really, anyway: Poetry.
