Shortlisted, Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry and Dartmouth
Book AwardIn 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.
