A broadside (11"x17") with the title poem by Diane Wakoski, the acclaimed, prolific poet who has long resided in Michigan. As noted at lower margin, "This Broadside was printed in an edition of 100 copies on the occasion of a party to celebrate the publication of The Rings of Saturn..." The poetry collection being celebrated was issued by Black Sparrow Press in 1986. The location of the event where this was distributed was Shaman Drum Bookshop, the late, legendary independent bookstore in Ann Arbor founded & led by Karl Pohrt (1947-2013), an important literary figure who was a mentor-associate of Third Mind Books. With reproduction of an ink wash illustration by Karl's brother, the noted artist Tom Pohrt. Just below & to the right of her printed name below the text of the poem, Wakoski has hand-signed her name with her characteristic vertical series of illustrations & dots.
