Part of the 2003 Center for Book Arts Broadsides Reading Series. A letterpress printed broadside of an Adisa Vera Beatty poem, printed in black. The broadside is illustrated with an abstract silhouette of a brain, and with relief prints of five-pointed stars, both printed in gray. The broadside is signed by the poet, upon a separate strip of paper affixed above the colophon, which reads: "One hundred copies of this broadside were printed in honor of the poet's reading at the Center for Book Arts, NYC on October 3, 2003. Set in Mrs. Eaves, the text was letterpress printed from polymer plates on Mohawk Superfine. Design and printing by Roni Gross."
