Yuko Otomo’s ‘PINK’
Cover of 'PINK' and Yuko Otomo, photographed by Donald Martineau-Vega
Written in Japanese and translated by the author, Yuko Otomo’s PINK is a paean to Paris, to her revered precursor, Baudelaire, and to her soulmate, the American poet Steve Dalachinsky. As she explains in a generously spontaneous afterword, Steve and Yuko visited Paris nearly every other year for 15 years or so.
