San Francisco: Intersection for the Arts, April 1977. 35.5x21.5cm. Broadside SIGNED by Jack Hirschman. Printed on thick off-white colored paper with lettering in green and blue. Featured at the top is a butterfly illustration in blue and green. A hint of toning along edges with the slightest of creases along the bottom edge. Corners are crisp and colors are bright. Near Fine.
The broadside lists the Tuesday night poetry events for April 1977, as well as Thursday evening cablevision programming and a small advertisement for an exhibition of Bay Area broadsides at the Intersection Gallery. This broadside featured some influential Beat poets including two future poet laureates of San Francisco, Jack Hisrchman (January 2006 - January 2008) and Diane di Prima (May 2009 - December 2011), Ruth Weiss, and Lenore Kandel who led a hermetic life and rarely read publicly. Unfortunately, all four of these great poets have passed away.
The Intersection for the Arts was established in 1965 and was designed as a space for diverse and disenfranchised voices in the arts and the community. It is the oldest alternative non-profit art space in San Francisco with one of California’s longest continuous reading series with famed performers including Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Gregory Corso, William S. Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Margaret Atwood.
