Broadsides

To commemorate the opening of the Poetry Center room in Wright Hall, we initiated a series of fine letterpress broadsides. Barry Moser, distinguished artist and printer to the college, donates his time to this project, designing and creating original engravings. Initial sales (at a discounted price on the date of unveiling) cover the cost of production; subsequent sales support our programming. These are limited edition broadsides, signed by both the author and the artist.

Framed broadsides are available for viewing in The Poetry Center in Wright Hall, open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Ordering Broadsides

Each broadside below is available for purchase, and quality reproductions of select prints are also available. As of Fall 2020, a number of broadsides can be purchased by credit card through the SCMA shop. If you’re interested in ordering a broadside not currently listed in stock at SCMA, please contact Jennifer Blackburn.
