Beschreibung

One 14 x 8 ½" sheet of goldenrod bond paper printed offset recto only, one illustration. This is the poster for a September 14th - assumed to be 1975 - benefit reading by poets Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, and Nanao Sakaki held at the American Victorian Museum in Nevada City, California. Entitled "True Gold is of the Heart" in a nod to the locale's Gold Rush heritage, the four appeared in support of the San Juan Ridge Taxpayers Association. "The roots of the Taxpayers Association go back to 1972 when a few dozen local residents founded the San Juan Ridge Study Group to explore issues of community concern. Meetings focused on county planning and building department policies, permits and code requirements for owner/builders; fire preparedness; forestry practices; and involvement with the Ridge's public schools. In 1975 the group founded the SJRTA, whose membership includes residents and non-resident landowners of the San Juan Ridge and other concerned citizens." Both Snyder and Ginsberg maintained residences nearby, and were supporters of the Association and its ideals. A most handsome example of this informally designed, inexpensively produced item that notes the "added attractions!" of Orlovsky and Sakaki to the bill rubber stamped in ink additionally SIGNED "Gary Snyder", "Allen Ginsberg", "Peter Orlovsky", and "Nanao Sakaki" in black and red inks on the evening of the event across the face.
