Portia White : a portrait in words / poetry by George Elliott Clarke ; art by Lara Martina. by Clarke, George Elliott, Nimbus Publishing, 2019. Call #: 819.154 C597p Subjects White, Portia, 1911-1968 -- Poetry. ISBN:  9781771086974 (hc.) Description:  72 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "I take Liberties--poetic--and take License to relate her story In her voice, to tell History Who she was--as I hear her say Or sing. 'But still you will come face-to-face With a "Portia," whose life outshines All brilliance this black ink divines'. In his unique brand of spoken word, Africadian poetry, the incomparable George Elliott Clarke explores a personal subject: his great-aunt Portia White. The result is a stirring, epic poem vibrating with energy and music that spans White's birth in 1911, a coming of age amidst the backdrop of two World Wars, and her life-long love affair with music--from singing in to directing the Cornwallis Street Baptist Church choir to her bel canto tutlege at the Halifax Conservatory of Music to her final, command performance before Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1964. Portia White is a stunning testament to the first African Canadian to become an international star. Features vibrant illustrations by contemporary artist Lara Martina." Genre:  Canadian poetry.
