The Poet and the Siren (1893) by Gustave Moreau.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 “Some books become talismans. Because they are strange, wildly different to the common run of literature; because they are scarce, and only a few precious copies are known to exist; because, perhaps, they liberate by transgressing the moral limits of the day; because their authors are lonely, elusive visionaries; because, sometimes, there is an inexplicable glamour about the book, so that its readers seem to be lured into a preternatural reverie. This book possesses all those attributes.” Mark Valentine<\/a> in an introduction he wrote for a 1997 reprint of The Book of Jade<\/em> (1901) by David Park Barnitz. The book’s author was an American writer who died at the age of 23 after publishing this single volume, a collection of poetry inspired by his favourite Decadent writers. Praise from HP Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and Thomas Ligotti has since helped maintain the book’s reputation. The Book of Jade<\/em> turned up recently at Standard Ebooks<\/a>, the home of free, high-quality, public-domain texts. Also the home of an increasingly eclectic list of publications.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At n+1: The Dam and the Bomb by Walker Mimms<\/a>, a fascinating essay about the entangling of Cormac McCarthy’s personal history with his novels which makes a few connections I didn’t expect to see. Also a reminder that I’ve yet to read McCarthy’s last two books. Soon…<\/p>\n
