The beautiful and naive Clover Collette has been in the clutches of
her overbearing mother for twenty-four years, but when Francis
Darling unintentionally penetrates her defenses, the two suddenly
and secretly fall in love. Within hours they're engaged and on the
run. Madly in love, they drift through the heartland of America
confronted by bank robbers, maniacal doctors, a Wall Street tycoon,
an absentminded poet, and a blind artist - each one troubled by a
heart wrenching tale of love.
The American Idlers is a collection of 67 poems that explore the
fragile and fleeting moments of two young lovers as their
relationship and intimacy gets punctuated by political tension,
disillusionment, and the invisible hand of freedom. As the two
lovers idle, they glimpse an America full of zealots, soldiers,
sluts, salesmen, suicide, and self-determination. In their chaotic
and multi-voiced vision of freedom, the two lovers discover the
present tense pregnant with possibilities and, in that brief
moment, they see the world for what it is: infinite.
