And I alone escaped to tell you / Sylvia Hamilton. by Hamilton, Sylvia, 1950- Gaspereau Press, 2014. Call #: 819.16 H221a Subjects Black Canadians -- Nova Scotia -- History -- Poetry.   Black Canadians -- Nova Scotia -- Poetry.   Blacks -- Nova Scotia -- History -- Poetry.   Blacks -- Canada -- Poetry.   Canadian poetry -- Black authors.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781554471362 (pbk.) Description:  94 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "The settlement of African peoples in Nova Scotia is a richly layered story encompassing many waves of settlement and diverse circumstances -- from captives to 'freedom runners' who sailed north from the United States with hopes of establishing a new life. The poems in And I Alone Escaped to Tell You endeavour to give these historical events a human voice, blending documentary material, memory, experience and imagination to evoke the lives of these early Black Nova Scotians and of the generations that followed. This collection is a moving meditation on the place of African-descended people in the Canadian story and on the threads connecting all of us to the African diaspora. Sylvia D. Hamilton is a filmmaker (including the films: Black mother, black daughter; Speak it! : from the heart of black Nova Scotia; and Hymn to freedom. Against the tides : the Jones family) and writer whose awards include a Gemini and the Portia White Prize. Her poetry has been published in The Dalhousie Review, West Coast Line, The Great Black North and Untying the Apron: Daughters Remember Mothers of the Fifties. She was a contributor to, and co-editor of, We're Rooted Here and They Can't Pull Us Up: Essays In African Canadian Women’s History. She lives in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia."--Provided by publisher.
