Ghost Words and Invisible Giants: H.D., Djuna Barnes, and the Language of Suffering
Lheisa Dustin
Lheisa Dustin describes “language of suffering” of iconic modernist authors H. D. and Djuna Barnes, tracing psychic splitting and virulent thought patterns in their creative works. She argues that this language, where word and meaning are disconnected, signals breaks in consciousness haunted by spectral objects of fear and desire.
