BARTON, Jourdain
Phantasmagoria

It is a bit of blood, a bit of hair, a bit of bone.
It is a doomsday clock and a whisper out of time.

Phantasmagoria is an oral history in print, situated at the intersection of memoir, conceptual art, and the epic form. Originating in improvised performance poetry, this book collects and standardizes a living text, marrying speech and the page through increasingly experimental—and even outrageous—typographic play.
