NY, Poetry in Public Places, ca. 1979. Six poetry broadsides from the series "Poetry in Public Places," made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. Subway-sized, 28" x 11"; i.e., designed to be placed in the advertising space on New York subways, above the windows. Each designed by Sherwin Harris. The six included here are: "The Morning Glory" by Raymond Roseliep; "Heavy Acquisition" by Edward Dorn; "Astronomical Lesson for Acme, Wyoming" by Charles Levendosky; "Herds" by Robert Hedin; "The Rent in the Screen" by Howard Nemerov; and an untitled poem by Jason Hwang. Dampstaining to the lower left corner of each, mostly affecting just the margins; a very good or better lot. An ephemeral effort to bring poetry into people's daily lives and at the same time an opportunity for poets, including a number of young ones, to get their work in front of a much larger audience than they might have otherwise.
