Inhaltsangabe

In the "Boogie Nights" era of the 1970s, Betty Browning and her lover, boxer Malcolm Miles, travel from the fog-anchored grime of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to sunburnt Corpus Christi, Texas, and back — meeting tragedy and bloodshed along the way.I & I smoulders with love, lust, violence, and the excruciating repercussions of racism, sexism, and disgust. Rastafarian for "you and me," "I & I" expresses the oneness of God and man, the oneness of two people or the distinction between body and spirit.

In George Elliott Clarke's hands, this existential aesthetic crystallizes in a love story of Gothic grit. The narrative gives this verse novel shape; the poetry makes it sing, straddling folk ballad, soul, and pop music, all the while moaning the blues.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the "Boogie Nights" era of the 1970s, Betty Browning and her lover, boxer Malcolm Miles, travel from the fog-anchored grime of Halifax to sunburnt Corpus Christi and back, meeting tragedy and bloodshed along the way. This verse novel smoulders with forbidden lust and blazes with brutality. With his trademark artistry, Clarke fearlessly ignites the grotesque and repugnant. Then, in a breath, he carries us ". . . to a hedonistic Eden, A wide largesse of green and flowers, And the unaccustomed gilding of light Granting everything a gold crust."
