Editorial Reviews

Review

"The paintings and poems in this volume provide a wide-ranging portrait of life in urban America. The vivid watercolors of the artist Tabboo! - range from bleakly beautiful views of water towers and television antennas silhouetted against a variegated sky to glittering, surprisingly original renditions of the Manhattan skyline." -- New York Times Book Review

"Very much in the tradition of great artist-poet collaborations of the past-Grace Hartigan and Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch and Larry Rivers'." -- New York Magazine
