Book Description

n.d. [197?] 28 x 21.5cm, pp. 12. Duck egg blue stapled wrappers, blue lettering and decoration to front wrapper. Three b/w photos, a leaf with a b/w illustration (by Nancy Pletos) and three loose printed leaves of poetry by Glen Mannisto and Dennis Teichman (both co-founders of Detroit River Press) laid-in: the illustration and poetry leaves appear to be proofs for Detroit River Press’ ‘48222: A Detroit Book of Poetry’ (1980). Faded, toned and lightly soiled, corners a little creased. A very good copy of an early offering from the printing co-operative based in Detroit’s Cass Corridor. Cover by Ann Mikolowski.
Dealer Notes
Includes contributions from Ted Berrigan, Gloria Dyc, and Arthur Pfister, amongst others: ‘ a cross-section of Detroit language activity, plus some guests from outside the community -- not a team of all-stars, just some brothers and sisters here with some instantaneous, simple spoken acts’ (Tysh, ‘an introduction’). Only one listing on WorldCat.
