All The Great And Terrible | Chapbook

Whose version of history gets told? What interpretation of truth makes it into our consciousness? Jon R. Flieger’s "all the great and terrible" explores these questions anchored in the life of William Wallace Denslow, Wizard of Oz illustrator and self-proclaimed King Denslow I of Denslow Island. The work blends biography, lyricism, and image; it incorporates crossing out, overlapping, and intersecting text into a polyvalent inquiry of what it means to write and rewrite history.
