No place (Vancouver): No publisher, no date, 1977. Second issue. Single sheet, 24.5 x 17.5 cm, folded once to make four panels. 12 line poem inside signed in print "George Bowering / Vancouver". Fine. Miki D705. ""in 1977 ninety signed copies [ie, of the original 1974 printing of the broadside] were included in a portfolio with six other signed broadsides [which had been] printed for THE MONDAY NIGHT READINGS AT THE WESTERN FRONT, 1974, and [ie, plus] a separate broadsheet [ie, printed both sides] by the editor Gerry Gilbert and Carole Itter for a reading at A SPACE, Toronto, 1973, and issued as Volume II Number 2 of THE BC MONTHLY. In otherwords, Gerry Gilbert (who ran the Monday Night readings at Western Front in 1974) gathered together unsold copies of 7 of the broadsides done for those readings & added his & his mate Carole's broadsheet (likely printed at Coach House) for their Toronto reading at A SPACE, 6 April 1973, & issued them all together in 1977 in a cardboard folder as BC MONTHLY II:2. Though issued in portfolio thus in 1977, the Bowering broadside was in fact printed for George's reading at The Western Front, 15 April 1974. Same broadside, 2nd (ie, signed) issue." - Nick Drumbolis
