Dewayne and the Black Biker: A Modern Myth

Of many machines, made by this people

Forged in the factories, formed out of steel

Stands always the staunchest, strongest and stoutest

Majestic motorcycle, machine for the mighty

Hailed as the Harley, hog on the highway.

An old literary form gets a delightful new twist in Jeff Handley's Dewayne and the Black Biker. A modern-day retelling of the fourteenth-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, this narrative poem follows the same alliterative style as the original for a fun take on a revered classic.

Big Bart's motorcycle gang is enjoying its end-of-the-year party when an ogre going by the nickname "The Black Biker" shows up, offering a deal: Big Bart can shoot him if, one year and one day later, Big Bart agrees to be shot in return. Big Bart's nephew, Dewayne, accepts the challenge on his uncle's behalf and takes the shot. The Black Biker's head immediately reassembles itself and the ogre rides off reminding them of the deal's conditions

One year later, Dewayne heads out to The Black Biker's hideout in the mountains. Along the way, he encounters a hippie commune and three very unique women before his epic showdown begins.
