A rock critic bored by the conventions of rock criticism, Camden Joy came to prominence through a series of street postering projects undertaken in the City of New York from 1995 to 1997. These projects, which were gathered in Lost Joy (TNI Books, 2002; Verse Chorus Press, 2015), used poster-length manifestos to champion missed cultural moments. Joy's subsequent experiments with "lo-fi literature" resulted in two controversial novels about rock celebrity.
