Broadside: "TERMS" Beau Beausoleil 1977 Five Tree Press San Francisco Poetry

More recently known for his work with the Al-Mutanabbi Street project, Beau Beausoliel is a San Francisco Book-seller and Poet. Five Trees Press was a relatively short-lived (1974-1979) press in San Francisco founded by Cheryl Miller and Kathy Walkup, each of whom both designed and printed for it. The broadside poem “Terms” by the San Francisco poet Beau Beausoleil is one of a triptych printed by the press in Feb 1977, one of a limited printing of 200 copies. Of his work, Beausoleil has said, “I have come to feel strongly that the reader is as much text as anything I write. I would like my work to 'read' the one who is reading it."

This broadside is professionally printed for display on heavy linen finished white stock, and this copy is nearly perfect with no noticeable flaws. It measures 11 7/8" x 17 7/8".
