About

Smoke is a tribute to Benjamin, singer, poet and figure of the American underground, and to Cabbageton, an underprivileged neighbourhood in Atlanta. Conceived as an album, it combines photographs by Michael Ackerman, pages of Benjamin's notes and archive documents, with texts by Jem Cohen and Patti Smith. It reveals the infinite grace, urgency, delicacy and frenzy of a forgotten man and a forgotten era.
