The Book of Jade
Episode 477
David Park Barnitz was a decadent poet who published one obscure volume before his untimely death at the age of 23. H.P. Lovecraft hailed Barnitz as “a vivid decadent.” “The Book of Jade” is a fantastic work of weird poetry, focused on death, madness, and other dark themes. Hear about Barnitz’ short life, the critical response to his poetry, and his connection to York, PA.
