5.0 out of 5 stars Unbroken, unfaltering, metered life., June 24, 1999
This review is from: Pink Instrument: Poems (Paperback)
I love the way Pink Instrument zooms like the Space Shuttle orbiting New York, very Un-John Glenn-like. It's funny and beautiful. Ralph Gibson's interspersed, nicely reproduced photographs are touchingly elegant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good work, lad!, November 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Pink Instrument: Poems (Paperback)
Max Blagg is the relaxed Jack Kerouac. His meditations on the pleasures of the mind and body (and wine) are relentlessly and energetically entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars a perfect match, October 29, 2007
This review is from: Pink Instrument: Poems (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of Ralph Gibson and have always thought his work should be accompanied by poetry, so I was delighted to bits when I stumbled upon this book! Blagg's words delicately and playfully compliment Gibson's images, making this book a sensual visual and literary experience
