These are photographs I took walking along 8th Avenue between my home near 12th St. and the Chelsea Hotel where I did my writing, at the time I was conceiving of a book for my 8th Avenue poems.

pages 5-65, June July 1985 pages 66-101, July-August 1985 pages 102-end, Spring 1985

I was born in Berlin in 1924 and have spent most of my time since 1941 in the U.S.A., I am a doctor of philosophy, have done a little performing with Charles Ludlam and Robert Wilson, have some of my writings published.

I thank my wife Rena Gill, Max Schumann, Miranda Gill and my Olympus 35mm camera.
