George Clarke's Amazing Spaces

George Clarke's More Amazing Spaces
Published in October to coincide with the launch of the fourth Amazing Spaces series, this second tie-in book showcases more of George Clarke's extraordinary small builds from all over the country. He shows how amazingly unexpected small spaces can be adapted into really workable living areas. Combining the eccentric and the inspirational with practical information directly from the projects' creators, the book will appeal not only to those dreaming of a get-away - for example in a deceptively cosy tin tent - but to everyone who wants to make the most of the space at home or in the garden, such as converting a basement into a casino.

Border Crossing
George Clarke is a retired RUC Special Branch officer who was involved in some of the earliest counter-terrorism campaigns in the troubles. In this book Clarke tells of how he and Special Branch officers in the south began to co-operate in the battle against the Provisional IRA - often without the knowledge of their superiors.
George & Rue
The facts are clear. It was, by all accounts, a "slug-ugly" crime: in 1949, George and Rufus Hamilton, two African Canadians, bludgeoned a taxi driver to death with a hammer in the dirt-poor settlement of Barker's Point, New Brunswick. Less than eight months later, the brothers were hanged for their crime. George and Rue's brutal act lives on in New Brunswick over half a century later, where the murder site is still known as "Hammertown". George Elliott Clark draws from this disturbing chapter in Canadian history in his first novel, brilliantly reimagining the lives - and deaths - of the two brothers. Fiercely human and startlingly poignant, George & Rue shifts seamlessly through the killers' pasts, examining just what kind of forces would reduce these men to lives of crime, violence, and ultimately, murder.
Where Beauty Survived
A vibrant, revealing memoir about the cultural and familial pressures that shaped George Elliott Clarke’s early life in the Black Canadian community that he calls Africadia, centred in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a boy, George Elliott Clarke knew that a great deal was expected from him and his two brothers. The descendant of a highly accomplished lineage on his paternal side—great-grandson to William Andrew White, the first Black officer (non-commissioned) in the British army—George felt called to live up to the family name. In contrast, his mother's relatives were warm, down-to-earth country folk. Such contradictions underlay much of his life and upbringing—Black and White, country and...
An Imperfect Revenge
When travel blogger Evie Lorrigan arrives at the Villa Brocanti resort in Tuscany to review it, she is irritated to find no staff on duty, no phone signal and the pool closed. Undeterred, she decides to explore the Brocanti estate where deep in dense woods she discovers the boarded-up ruin of a massive villa. Her journalistic instincts piqued, Evie searches for and discovers a way in, only to find herself in a terrifying maze of tricks and traps. Prevented from leaving by doors with no handles closing behind her, she is forced to make her way onwards and upwards through elaborately painted rooms and corridors until, when a final door closes behind her, she is trapped in an attic room along with the gruesome remains of a long-dead man. Evie knows nothing about the secretive Brocanti family's history, nothing about the tyrannical Marchese Salvatore Brocanti, a brilliant artist working in the late 1800s, and nothing about the mysterious disappearance of his wife and children. What Evie does know is that she is trapped in a deserted ruin with no food and little water. And no one knows she is there...
Narrative of the Sufferings of Lewis Clarke
Lewis George Clarke published the story of his life as a slave in 1845, after he had escaped from Kentucky and become a well-regarded abolitionist lecturer throughout the North. His book was the first work by a slave to be acquired by the Library of Congress and copyrighted. During the 1840s he lived in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Aaron and Mary Safford, where he encountered Mary's stepsister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, along with Frederick Douglass, Lewis Tappan, Gerrit Smith, Josiah Henson, John Brown, Lydia Child, and Martin Delaney. His experiences are evident in Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852, and Stowe identified him as the prototype for the book's rebellious character George Harris. This facsimile edition of Clarke's book is introduced by his great grandson, Carver Clark Gayton, who has served as director of Affirmative Action Programs at the University of Washington; corporate director of educational relations and training for the Boeing Company; lecturer at the Evans School of Public Administration, University of Washington; and executive director of the Northwest African American Museum. He lives in Seattle. A V Ethel Willis White Book

I & I
Shortlisted, Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry and Dartmouth Book Award In 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.
