n/p: Unknown, Circa 1981. First Printing. Single Sheet. Very Fine. A broadside (11"x17") announcing a reading by acclaimed poet-editor-educator Clayton Eshleman on Tuesday, April 28 of an unknown year which we believe is most likely 1981: Hades in Manganese, the latest of two works mentioned, was originally published that year, & that date was a Tuesday during that year. The event at which Eshleman participated is named "the Le Prade Markham Poetry Reading," referring presumably to the California poets Ruth Le Prade (1894-1969) & Edwin Markham (1852-1940). Eshleman resided in California & was teaching at the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) during this period, & the reading may have taken place there or at another University in that state. At the bottom edge, Eshleman has hand-written: "For Jim. From Clayton/on Carly's birthday/but what year?/1988" Jim is the late collector & Beat Generation scholar James Perrizo, who was an acquaintance of Eshleman & a major collector of his works. Caryl is Eshleman's wife. By 1988, Eshleman was living in Michigan (where he still resides) & teaching at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Perrizo was born & died in California, but lived for many years in Michigan, including 1988. A bold production with a very punk aesthetic, & a rare Eshleman signed collectible with significant association. In very fine condition with only very tiny bumps at top edge & corners; one short stain mostly over the lower portion of the letter "E" in "Eshleman" with minor effect thereof.
Signed & dated with citation by Clayton Eshleman to James Perrizo.
Item is currently mounted on stiff board, in protective wrap, will be shipped rolled in tube.
