Heads & H&Z, 1985

 Item — Box 281: [Barcode: 31858072460649]
Identifier: CC-19604-19990
Scope and Contents

This anthology Includes reprints of a selection of curry's publishing activities focusing on his rubberstampings of minimalistic and concrete poems of his own and his circle of poets. Dean comments: this making precious of the single poem was the result of necessity as much as esthetic deliberation; curry published within a finite small budget. This could have caused poor-quality production, i.e. Gestetner, offset or xerox. Instead it resulted in hand-stamp, hand-set rubber type, as his chosen (& unique) means of publication. His scaled down book remained both anarchic and typographically refined. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Lay-Out: I'm Going to The Abbey / curry, jw; Ross, Stuart; Laba, Mark., 1982

 Item
Identifier: CC-43190-45247
Scope and Contents

This is the layout for a poster announcing a poetry reading at The Abbey Bookshop. The background is a page from a porn magazine. According to a letter written from curry to the Sackners, about 75 were made but Ross' "feet got chilly" and most ended up destroyed. Ross made his own poster for the event to curry's dismay. Writing in 1994 to the Sackners, curry was sorry that the poster was not used since this was "a hilarious poke at The Abbey, a venue as staid as they come, bound in the honourable chains of hypothesized tradition." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
