Written in 1971 and read aloud by the author himself, Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping is Derek Jarman's only known work of narrative prose — a psychedelic road trip of the mind that blends poetic experimentation with a deeply personal vision. Licensed from House Sparrow Press, Prototype Publishing, and the Estate of Derek Jarman, this release offers an intimate encounter with Jarman's voice at a formative moment in his creative life, bridging his early literary experiments and the radical film work that would follow.
Described as a "fantasy fable about how to see differently," this is a slipstream text that reimagines notions of empire, the road trip, and the mid-twentieth century journey of the soul in Jarman's singular style. For admirers of his wider artistic legacy, this vinyl release stands as both a key cultural document and a self-sufficient artwork — a rare opportunity to experience one of Britain's most visionary artists in an unguarded and deeply compelling form.
