Twelve broadsides, each representing the work of an individual poet who gave a reading at the Center for Book Arts in New York, are enclosed in an artistic portfolio that not only provides protection but also appeals to the eye. As part of the Broadside Reading Series, each author creates a broadside of one of their poems that captures the essence of the verse and the story they are telling. Includes works by Thomas Glave, Rodney Terich Leonard, Marie Ponsot, Lila Zemborain, Bill Luoma, Martha Rhodes, Patricia Spears Jones, Kristin Prevallet, Brenda Coultas, L.B. Thompson, Linda Gregg and Peter Covino. Produced in a signed limited edition of 150, the broadsides are reserved for the yearly portfolios. The 2002 portfolio is covered in paper printed with a combed texture with a quarter blue cloth spine and blue grosgrain ribbon ties.
