y separately published work icon Darger : A Sequence of Poems Darger : His Girls Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2012 Z1833227 2012 sequence poetry

Henry Darger was an untrained artist and a social isolate who was obsessed with little girls. When he died in Chicago in 1973 at the age of 81, his work was completely unknown. Now his work is hung in major international art galleries and his innovative use of materials places him in the pop art milieu. The poems in this book tell the story of his life.
