4to. 4pp. Single sheet folded to make a four-page pamphlet.Published in an edition of 200 copies "Written for the occasion of a reading by Anne Waldman & Kenward Elmslie at the Savoy theatre in Montpelier, Vermont, on August 28, 1983." Signed in ink by Waldman and Elmslie at their contributions and by Elmslie's partner, artist and poet Joe Brainard who contributed the cover illustration. The Savoy which continues to show foreign and indy films in the VT Capitol is just a few miles from the Elmslie home, then home to Z Press, in Poets Corner (Cabot) where a large number of literary figures continue to spend their summers. A very fine copy. 

From the collection of Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965-2016. Perhaps Bidart's most celebrated poem, "The Second Hour of the Night," is partly based on his relationship with Brainard. "The relationship was," as Bidart has said, both "more than friendship and less than a romance." His "In Memory of Joe Brainard" is a profound elegy for his friend who died of AIDS-induced pneumonia in 1994.
