On the fiftieth anniversary of the Psychedelic Era’s dawning, Black Clock 20 cites fifty essential works of psychedelic popular culture with commentaries by Jonathan Lethem, Rick Moody, Greil Marcus, Grace Krilanovich, Devin McKinney, Howard A. Rodman, Geoff Nicholson, Lynell George and David L. Ulin among others, along with some of the trippiest fiction and poetry in half a century by the likes of Brian Evenson, Shelley Jackson, Rob Roberge and Matthew Specktor.
Singular, idiosyncratic and a little mysterious, Black Clock is one of America's leading literary journals.
