Book Description
"The Tango", a serial poem by Leslie Scalapino, is juxtaposed with her stark photographs of debating monks at a Monastery in Tibet. This is combined with collaborating artist Marina Adams's paintings on patterned cloth, all of which together create a book woven like a tapestry akin to Buddist tankas.
Poetry and photographs by Leslie Scalapino. Painting by Marina Adams.
