Review

..."it was a challenge for me to find a publisher for Illuminated Verses. Over eleven years, many were approached, but only Canadian Scholars' Press has dared to set Scipio's breathtaking vistas before a public. Why? Maybe the idea of the unclothed black feminine seems too much a palimpsest of pornography, or just too dark a concept for a society addicted to depictions of elect whiteness. Whatever curses my verses merit, I think no allegation--political or aesthetic--may be legitimately posited against their 'illuminations." Yes, there will always be those who hate nudity, or who loath the sable physique, or who don't like men (or women) who like women. Of course, this book is not for them."

Product Description

With fire, verve, and intensity, George Elliott Clarke gives readers a new work in which to immerse themselves - to feel illuminated by the cascading words and sensual experience of poetry.
