MUSHROOM BOOK - John Cage, Lois Long, Alexander H. Smith 

edition of original lithograph prints from John Cage, Lois Long and Alexander H. Smith.

John Cage, legendary composer of experimental sounds and  silence, was absolutely fascinated with mushrooms. The pages of the Mushroom Book a collaboration with mycologist Alexander H. Smith — include these disjointed poems alongside beautifully executed mushroom illustrations by Lois Long, as well as fields of seemingly random text with sporadic mushroom drawings and details scrawled by Cage all over the page.
