Scope and Contents

This is the layout for a poster announcing a poetry reading at The Abbey Bookshop. The background is a page from a porn magazine. According to a letter written from curry to the Sackners, about 75 were made but Ross' "feet got chilly" and most ended up destroyed. Ross made his own poster for the event to curry's dismay. Writing in 1994 to the Sackners, curry was sorry that the poster was not used since this was "a hilarious poke at The Abbey, a venue as staid as they come, bound in the honourable chains of hypothesized tradition." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
