Poetry book by the famed pop-art poet John Giorno. Having starred in Warhol’s rst lm Sleep, Giorno established a reputation as one of New York’s preeminent poets, dedicating himself to enlivening the city and its quotidian rhythms. Cum exempli es Giorno’s cut-up technique, repetition, propulsion, and warmth; it was performed with Michael Brody in 1971 at a SoHo loft accompanied by musicians, including Angus MacLise. The rousing cover is by pioneering video and conceptual artist Les Levine.
