| Item Description: | Cover title. Statement of responsibility, publication information and description from publisher's website. Text is in graffiti-style lettering throughout. "Poet/activist, Crystal Valentine, the 2015 New York City Youth Poet Laureate, and winner of numerous poetry slams, lit the fuse for this monumental 30 feet long (double-sided) artists' book with her explosive poem "On evaluating black privilege." Marshall Weber invited Valentine and San Francisco grafitti godfather, CUBA (AKA Clarence Robbs) to collaborate on a unique artist book that would honor and provide a unique vehicle for their acclaimed work"--Booklyn website. "A unique book bound in graffiti decorated boards with 24 accordion folded panels with a substrate of mono-prints and rubbings featuring the Statue of Liberty, the diagram of the 'Brookes' slave ship, the Chrysler building, a Stephen Dupont gelatin silver photograph of a Port Moresby 'Raskol' gang member, and a vintage Malcolm X / Ho Chi Minh 1978 screen-print from the People's Press in Berkeley, CA"--Booklyn website. |
