Title: Poetry-Art Broadside Series I Author: Callipoea Press Place: Santa Rosa and Sausalito, CA Publisher: Callipoea Press Date: 1980's Description: Comprises of six 22x14¾" printed broadside poems, each with an illustration, mostly by colored woodcut. Together, housed in the publisher’s maroon cloth folding box with gilt-lettered cover and internal marbled paper, made by Hans Schuberth, according to the printer’s design, as a prototype for the project. Each No. 110 of 150 hand-numbered copies designed and printed by Carol Denison and David Pascoe, and each signed by the author and artist. Series I of a projected series of two that were to collect all 12 broadsides produced by the Calliopea Press, issued during the mid-1980’s. The second series was never completed and as a result, this is likely the only copy in existence that contains all six broadsides completed in the series with the Schuberth prototype cloth box.
