Max Blagg
PINK INSTRUMENT
$40
A witty, smart, utterly modern collection of poems by New Yorker Max Blagg, complemented with the bold photographs of Ralph Gibson, who early in his career assisted Dorothea Lange. With full-bleed duotones interspersed between poems, the result is a work that is not sentimental or confessional. PINK INSTRUMENT throbs with the pulse of New York.
