[German Democratic Republic: s.n., ca. 1982]. Poster, 81 x 57 cm. Offset print in blue, black, white, and yellow. Minor tears and wear at edges, else near fine. "No more teeth for this hyena." Early-1980s anti-American East German protest poster adapted from John Heartfield's 1932 photomontage, KRIEG UND LEICHEN - DIE LETZTE HOFFNUNG DER REICHEN ("War and corpses - The last hope of the rich") depicting a snarling hyena in a top hat. The poster replaces the hyena's teetch with white missiles and adds the caption, "USA-Raketen aus Westeuropa raus!" ("USA missiles out of western Europe!"). A rare survival.

[Detroit]: The Glass Bell Press, 1974. First Separate Edition. Broadside. Fine. Broadside, 11 x 8 inches, printed on pale green paper. Fine. First separate edition of this portion of Ellen Bass's longer poem, "Japanese Notebooks," which was published a year earlier in her first collection of poetry, I'M NOT YOUR LAUGHING DAUGHTER. In 1973, Bass also co-published (with Florence Howe) NO MORE MASKS!, one of the first major anthologies of 20th-century women's poetry. Detroit's Glass Bell Press published poems by women from 1974 to 1979, largely in broadside form. In 1975, Glass Bell printed 10 broadsides for the portfolio collection, TEN MICHIGAN WOMEN POETS. The present broadside is one of nine Glass Bell printed in 1974 for which we have found records, but it remains unclear whether the 1974 broadsides were also intended to be issued as a collection. Scarce, with OCLC locating one copy, at Brown University.
