12 Poems, Volume 1, 2, 3

12 Poems is a collection of three (3) volumes of collaborated projects with Research Assistants from Parsons School of Design. The work covers a number of years exploring poetry from 1990 to today and photographs from the beginning of my career in 1978 to today. My hope is to work with the student to ask that they select twelve poems and the photographs from the vault and play with layout, color, design and composition. I met numerous times each term with a few different students, looking at a few layouts and designs, typography, and agreed upon what is seen in each of these works. I hope you enjoy!

12 Poems Volume 1

12 Poems Volume 1 is the first in a collection of poems including text and photographs that span a lifetime of work as an artist and designer. Working collaboratively with my art and design students at Parsons School of Design in New York City, we selected the poems from over forty books of original hand written works beginning in 1990. This full color printed volume contains original scanned 35 mm color slides, color and black and white photographs and typographic elements to contribute to the overall context of the poems. The images also include many of my travels from Philadelphia to New Jersey, Colorado, San Francisco, Detroit, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Arizona, London, Paris and the many roads between to New York City.
