A CBC Best Poetry Book of 2022 Saturated with locutions lifted from
the late 19th century, The Day-Breakers deeply conceives of what
African Canadian soldiers experienced before, during, and in the
immediate aftermath of the American Civil War. "It is not wise to
waste the life / Against a stubborn will. / Yet would we die as
some have done. / Beating a way for the rising sun wrote Arna
Bontemps. In The Day-Breakers, poet Michael Fraser imagines the
selflessness of Black soldiers who fought for the Union during the
American Civil War, of whom hundreds were African-Canadian,
fighting for the freedom of their brethren and the dawning of a new
day. Brilliantly capturing the rhythms of their voices and the era
in which they lived and fought, Fraser's The Day-Breakers is an
homage to their sacrifice and an unforgettable act of reclamation:
the restoration of a language, and a powerful new perspective on
Black history and experience.
