Synopsis

<p><b>Shortlisted, Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry and Dartmouth Book Award</b></p><p>In the &#34;Boogie Nights&#34; 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 &#8212; meeting tragedy and bloodshed along the way. <i>I &#38; I</i> smoulders with love, lust, violence, and the excruciating repercussions of racism, sexism, and disgust. Rastafarian for &#34;you and me,&#34; &#34;I &#38; I&#34; expresses the oneness of God and man, the oneness of two people or the distinction between body and spirit.</p> <p>In George Elliott Clarke&#39;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.</p>
