About This Item
Unpublished, 1991. On November 15, 1991 famed "beat" poet Allen Ginsberg performed/lectured in the Virginia Commonwealth University Business Building Auditorium in Richmond, Virginia. Offered here is an original admission ticket (number 360) for that lecture. Ginsberg signed (without inscription) and dated the front of the ticket, and boldly included "AH" within a circle. Beginning sometime around 1978, he frequently accompanied his autograph with that symbol. Although he occasionally gave brief, often enigmatic explanations of the symbol, the most complete explanation of AH that I have seen is written by Ginsberg on the verso of this ticket--and he initialed the explanation! I previously sold a poster for the VCU event that had been signed by Ginsberg for the holder of this ticket. That fan encountered Ginsberg at another event in the following month and on that occasion he asked Ginsberg to sign this ticket and to explain "AH." He did so and dated his signature 12/21/91. A significant autographed item that remains in near fine condition.. SIGNED. First Edition. Single Sheet. Near Fine. 2" by 3 3/4". Manuscript.
