I read about Mike Watt’s book in this thread and ordered it–it came yesterday and it’s a really beautiful book. I love his writing/spieling, reminds me of Kerouac, Neal Casady, Whitman, without being derivative or nostalgic.
His photos of pelican faces, wave foam spray, wings, flattened suns, goose teeth, burning shoreline are so precise and luminous, like the accompanying text. You can see the awareness behind the camera and words in this book; a brimming, positive, clear view from the deep present. Thanks for posting on this book, it’s great.
