have made regular appearances in his paintings over the years. Each image

and widely published New York School poet who originated and hosted the
famous Poetry Slams at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and now runs the Bowery
Poetry Club. This clothbound edition preserves a luxurious sensibility
with 22 extraordinary oversized daguerreotypes printed in rich tritone.
