Every Bit of It. By Jackie Kay. Two women who share a fascination with Bessie Smith meet on a train. In conversation they reveal more and more both about themselves and about the life of the American blues singer, which they enter through poetry and song. As the journey progresses, Bessie gradually takes them over.
