A poster (15"x24") for an art exhibit that took place during June & July of 1983 at Artisans Art Gallery in Mill Valley, California; along with related poetry readings at the Mill Valley Community Center.

(initials for Artist's Proof), & has hand-signed his name, also in pencil. A beautiful production, & a most desirable rarity with important literary & artistic associations. In very fine condition with only tiny closed tear-bump at upper left corner; miniscule bump at upper right corner; very faint, short creases & wear at a few areas of side edges; lower right edge slightly irregular most likely as issued.
