Poet, photographer and filmmaker Gerard Malanga worked as Andy Warhol's silkscreen assistant from 1963 to 1970, becoming a major influence on many of the paintings and films created in Warhol’s Factory. Malanga and Warhol collaborated on the nearly five-hundred individual 3-minute Screen Tests which resulted in a selection for a book of the same name, published by Kulchur Press in 1967. In 1966 he was the choreographer for The Velvet Underground and in 1969 he and Warhol founded Interview magazine. Malanga is the author of a dozen books of poetry, including No Respect, New & Selected Poems 1964-2000, Tomboy & Other Tales and the latest, Cool & Other Poems. His work has appeared in Poetry, Partisan Review, The Paris Review, and The New Yorker. He has just completed his memoir, In Remembrance of Things Past.
