Tom Bianchi is one of the most published visual artists and writers in the world. His many books of photographs, poems, and essays primarily cover the gay male experience in a variety of contexts. Tom Bianchi revolutionized the way in which artists conceptualize and photograph the male nude.

In this stunning collection of male photography, Tom Bianchi pays tribute to what has become the most famous setting in his highly acclaimed body of work, The Outpost Pool. But the pool is more than a mere backdrop, for as Bianchi says, we have made art, we have memorialized the handsomeness of our friends, and we have enjoyed the camaraderie of one another. In this place we have realized a potential of our tribe today, making the story of our world as we like it.

Boards are clean and very bright. The dust jacket is complete with minimal wear. Not price clipped. Internally, beautiful photography. A wonderful copy.
