<dc:description id="description">A collection of decadent poetry by David Park Barnitz.</dc:description>
<meta id="long-description" property="se:long-description" refines="#description">
&lt;p&gt;Anyone who reads &lt;i&gt;The Book of Jade&lt;/i&gt; will quickly notice a few things: the author of this collection of poems holds a pessimistic, misanthropic view of life, and his obsessions lean towards the macabre, particularly focusing on themes of death, darkness, graves, corpses, and a longing to rest among the worms. The collection presents a world where God is portrayed as foolish, other people as imbeciles, and the fate of the dead as something to be envied. Certainly not light-hearted fare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although &lt;i&gt;The Book of Jade&lt;/i&gt; was initially published anonymously, it didn’t take long for readers to discover the identity of its author. The obituary of &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/david-park-barnitz"&gt;David Park Barnitz&lt;/a&gt;, a young oriental scholar who passed away mere weeks after the release of this collection, revealed him to be the author of this “volume of poems … which was spoken of as of unusual merit.” Though somewhat uneven in quality, the work has garnered admiration from figures such as &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-p-lovecraft"&gt;H. P. Lovecraft&lt;/a&gt;, Donald Wandrei, and Clark Ashton Smith, firmly establishing its place in the decadent literary canon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This edition includes all the poems of the original 1901 release, as well as the poem “After-Life,” which was published in &lt;i&gt;Overland Monthly&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although &lt;i&gt;The Book of Jade&lt;/i&gt; was initially published anonymously, it didn’t take long for readers to discover the identity of its author when the obituary of &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/david-park-barnitz"&gt;David Park Barnitz&lt;/a&gt;, a young oriental studies scholar who passed away mere weeks after the book’s publication, admitted as much.
