Publisher Marketing: Camp Marmalade takes the freedoms of trance utterance–unfettered verbal association, explicit auto-ethnography, erotic bricolage–and applies a more stringent sense of time-as-emergency to this liberation-oriented poetic method. Part diary, part collage, part textbook for a new School of Impulse, Camp Marmalade assembles a perverse and giddy cultural archive, a Ferris wheel of aphorisms, depicting a queer body amidst a dizzying flow of sensations, dreams, and sex-and-death distillations–whether sugary, fruity, bitter, expired, or freshly jarred.
