A lengthy poem celebrating the British author's marriage to a Nigerian woman, this narrative is a meditation on love on both a personal and communal level. As it knits together the philosophical theme of "I" and "you," this remarkable poem expresses the inherent tensions of the union and observes both the harsh facts and the undeniable beauty of the northern Nigerian setting. Touching on various topics--including exposure to racism, unfamiliar customs, homesickness, cold weather, religion, and death--this sensitive account provides insight into differing cultural perceptions and the meanings of love.
