* [[File:J'Accuse Cover.jpg|thumb|186x186px]]On December 1, 2021, Exile Editions published [https://www.exileeditions.com/shop/jaccuse-poem-versus-silence/ ''J’Accuse...!'' (Poem ''Versus'' Silence)], ana manifesto-in-poetry by Canada’s Parliamentarian Poet Laureate emeritus, George Elliott Clarke, in which he responds to the impacts of being “cancelled” induring our time of malevolent righteousness, often described as Cancel Culture. In ''J'Accuse...!'' Clarke boldly confronts the reality that, in our turbulent time, there must be an interest in real voices and stories, otherwise any individual can fall victim to silencing – blacklisting – gag-orders – cancelling… And unflinchingly, this ''cri-de-coeur'' reveals the personal cost – borne by all poets who seek to “bear witness to Treasure – / despite all opposing Battery.”
