About 226 Press
Virtually located on the Westbound side of the Devon, Pennsylvania train station,
226 Press is the graphic brand imprint for Poetry by Christopher William Purdom,
which includes Narcoleptic Heretic
(a critically ignored formal confessional language
flarf performance art epic published in ten sequentially numbered,
individually titled, 24-poem volumes from 2005 to 2014); the very long conceptual nonsense
work BEYOND EVERY GENOME; three short sequels to the epic: RESIST, Mississauga and BATAGAIKA; and two more conceptual
nonsense works: pandemicfatuation and TWENTY.
The poetry is available in free PDFs on this site, and as video readings. The video section also includes program notes for the epic, a silent piece,
"Without Rabbits" and one otherwise unpublished poem, "In With CDC".
The artist does most of his own stunts, including writing, book layout,
cover, logo, and website design, plus video recording and editing. Poetic
editorial advice is volunteered by humans who wish to remain anonymous.
