Raven

In 2001 legendary rock and roller Lou Reed immersed himself in the world of one of his spiritual forefathers, Edgar Allen Poe, to produce one of his most challenging and original works: POEtry, a cycle of songs directed by the legendary theatre director Robert Wilson. The suite of songs was released on CD in 2003 as The Raven, and is Reed's most recent solo studio album to date. This spectacular volume adds a third, dark, unique vision to the mix: the brilliant Italian cartoonist and illustrator, Lorenzo Mattotti.
