"A synthesis of dance, photography, and poetry, of kinetic energy, the image, and the evocative use of words" (Ralph Lemon). An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Trager and modern dance collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Philip Trager, Ralph Lemon, and Andrew Szegedy-Maszak. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary art, photography, and literary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Some of the finest American writers and artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP TRAGER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0819553034.
