Description
Poetry. Art. This collection pairs the poignant poems and dry humor of the author of SUBJECT TO FITS and ROCKS AND IDEALS with camera reductions of James Siena's intricate 60" X 40" black-and-white ink drawings.
"Sort of a Greatest Hits album, these postcards from the edge of the quotidian stick in your mind like catchy pop songs you can't pry loose. But then watch as the everyday, taken at face value, does an about face; these morsels of the mundane alchemically transform into philosophical gems."—Kenneth Goldsmith
