ROBILLIARD, David. Waiting for Nothing.

(Manchester, England): The Bad Press, 1992.  First edition.  Softcover.  21cm by 15cm.  16 pages.  Cool and scarce volume featuring ten of Robilliard’s witty, wine stained, words.  The texts originally appeared in earlier small-press formats including Inevitable, (published by Gilbert and George in 1984) Swallowing Helmets, and various postcard editions.  Robilliard flummoxed the establishment with his refusal to take it or himself too seriously, sauntering through society with his mind on passion and fun, dubbed by his mentors Gilbert & George as “the new master of the Modern person.” His poems (and paintings) tell of hangovers and “disposable boyfriends”; they offer elegies to what might have been.  This is a very good copy in card covers with paper jacket.  Published in an edition of 250 copies.  Scarce.
