Description
In 2001 legendary rock and roller Lou Reed immersed himself in the world of one of his spiritual forefathers, Edgar Allen Poe, to produce one of his most challenging and original works: POEtry, a cycle of songs directed by the legendary theatre director Robert Wilson. This spectacular volume adds a third, dark, unique vision to the mix: the brilliant Italian cartoonist and illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti, whose vivid, abstracted and enigmatic paintings perfectly complement Reed and Poe’s haunting words.
