Opis

Ironist, Critic, Poet, Nietzschean, Anarch. Friend of H.L. Mencken, Charles Fort, Jack London and relative of Baruch Spinoza. Published in periodicals ranging from the radical anarchist Liberty, to the mainstream Life, his work is now mostly lost and forgotten save a mention every decade or so by scholars or writers who have stumbled across him.
This volume contains the known poetry of Benjamin DeCasseres (1873-1945) outside of his "ANATHEMA Litanies of Negation" and the few poems written in tribute to his brother Walter, contained in "The Sublime Boy." 129 poems in verse and prose, collected from two published volumes ("The Shadow-Eater" and "Black Suns") and culled from dozens of periodicals over the first half of the 20th century.
