The Fine Art of Capturing a Poet and the Epic Feat of Peter Ross

Artists, like art, are a tricky lot to pin down. The best kind always hang a little crooked on the wall as if rebelling against being put on display and being asked to sit quietly in the space designated for them.
Like John Giorno, they are not content with a label of "poet," "painter," or even the less common trade of "candlestick maker." Thankfully, armed with a lens, Peter Ross was able to draw us a picture of the artist, Giorno in-between his poetry, painting, and performances.
And, as you can see from the portrait, he is hung--just as we expected--a bit crooked in his frame.
