Canadian Poet Cancels Talk About Indigenous Poets Because Of His Advocacy For Murderer Of An Indigenous Woman

George Elliott Clarke’s talk at the University of Regina was supposed to be about the murdered and missing Indigenous women of Canada, and poets who wrote about them. But his original refusal to say he wouldn’t read a poem by Stephen Brown, a convicted murderer of an Indigenous woman, and Clarke’s friend, caused enough controversy that he eventually canceled entirely. – Globe and Mail (Canada)
