About This Item
New York, NY. Handwritten by the authors and published unedited and indiscriminately by Dan Saxon. Contributors include Ted Berrigan, Gerard Malanga, Anselm Hollo, Ron Padgett, and Paul Blackburn. Side stapled and mimeographed, 22 pp. VG+. Distributed at Café Le Metro avant-garde poetry readings in small numbers (reportedly less than 75 copies). Ron Padgett recalls, Dan Saxon would come into Le Metro during the readings and hand out rexograph sheets, and we would get one stencil each. Some people would take them home and type on them, but a lot of us wrote by hand on one of the old wooden tables at Le Metro. Some would spontaneously write a poem by themselves or collaborate with somebody. Or they would draw a poem picture. A few people would come in occasionally and write from memory a poem they had written recently.
Poets at Le Metro was kind of a free-flowing record of the readings that went on. Some of the poems were awful, but that didnt matter. It was more the sense of spontaneity that was important to me. An important and scarce publication of the mimeo revolution.
