Three Poem Broadsides

Each reproduced by photo-offset from the author's own calligraphy and printed in an edition of 300 copies on the occasion of a reading at Longshoreman's Hall, San Francisco, June 12, 1964. Each broadside is signed by its author. Snyder, Welch and Whalen first met when they attended Reed College, a progressive school in Oregon; the friends later became three of the most influential poets of the Beat generation. The Snyder and Whalen are fine; the Welch has some faint creasing and is near fine. 9-1/2" x 12-1/2". Publisher's postcard prospectus laid in. [McNeil A7.] [#034472] SOLD
