Zong! / M. NourbeSe Philip ; as told to the author by Setaey Adamu Boateng. by Philip, Marlene Nourbese, 1947- Wesleyan University Press, 2011. Call #: 819.16 P549z Subjects Canadian poetry -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- Black authors.   Canadian poetry -- 21st century. Series Wesleyan poetry. ISBN:  9780819571694 (pbk) Edition:  1st Wesleyan paperback [ed.]. Description:  xii, 211 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Originally published in hardcover by Wesleyan University Press in 2008. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 208-209). Summary:  "In November, 1781, the captain of the slave ship Zong ordered that some 150 Africans be murdered by drowning so that the ship's owners could collect insurance monies. Relying entirely on the words of the legal decision Gregson v. Gilbert the only extant public document related to the massacre of these African slaves, Zong! tells the story that cannot be told yet must be told. Equal parts song, moan, shout, oath, ululation, curse, and chant, Zong! excavates the legal text. Memory, history, and law collide and metamorphose into the poetics of the fragment. Through the innovative use of fugal and counterpointed repetition, Zong! becomes an anti-narrative lament that stretches the boundaries of the poetic form, haunting the spaces of forgetting and mourning the forgotten."--page 4 of cover.
