Book, 98 pages, 26 Lorna Lentini photographs, 2 Matthew Shipp interviews by Steve Dalachinsky, 19 Steve Dalachinsky poems inspired by Matthew Shipp music, 4 Matthew Shipp writings, introduction by Yuko Otomo (in english)

Steve Dalachinsky, poet, and Lorna Lentini, photographer, both know Matthew Shipp, musician, since he arrived in New York in the late 80's. “Logos and Language: a Post-Jazz Metaphorical Dialogue” is made up of dialogues between Steve and Matthew, Steve's poems (written while listening to Matthew Shipp), Matthew's writings and Lorna's photographs. Shipp's music as seen from the inside by three major artists. It definitely creates a unique book that on its own, is not just a book about Shipp but as Shipp himself would agree, a book that encompasses the entire Cosmos.
