Our set is letter Y. In a few cases, chapbooks originally published in foreign languages are signed by the translators. Total edition sizes ranged from 300 copies at the beginning of the series in 1994 to 750 copies when the series ended in 2006. Each broadside appears on a single sheet, folded to create 8 panels. 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches (215 x 90 mm) when folded. The series contains a remarkable collection of writers, including established poets such as Amiri Baraka, Robert Creeley, Jerome Rothenberg, Anne Waldman, Alice Notley, Diane Di Prima, Dick Higgins, Jackson Mac Low, Joanne Kyger, Jack Hirschman, Carl Rakosi, Aram Saroyan, Anselm Hollo, and many others. But it's not just big names. There are many emerging or lesser-known poets as well. (Please inquire for a complete list.) Sylvester Pollet (1939-2007) was the mastermind behind this series. He was an associate editor of the National Poetry Foundation and taught creative writing at the University of Maine, Orono. According to the previous owner of this set, "He [Pollet] published work under the Backwoods Broadsides imprint for many years, but the chaplet series was his 'heart' project." Included with the set is Pollet's "farewell" letter to subscribers ending the series in 2006. A rare, complete set, one of only 26 sets signed by the authors and/or the translators. CONDITION: Fine. Signed by Author(s).

Pollet died not long afterwards and, probably for that reason, his name and contact detail have been changed on this sheet, by hand, to those of MaJo Keleshian. A Fine set, in beautiful condition.

Condición: Fine. Complete set of the poetry series, each simply designed by Pollet's wife, MaJo Keleshian, on legal-sized paper folded into a narrow octavo with eight panels. Issues # 1-50 are hand-numbered from editions of varying sizes: 300 in the series' beginning, to 750 starting with issue #8. There are two copies of issue # 1, and one is signed and inscribed by Pollet on the rear panel to author and screenwriter William "Gatz" Hjortsberg, from whose collection these come. None of the rest are signed.Chaplets are printed on paper of muted tones, with the poet's name, chaplet title, translator's name (if appropriate) and number on the front of each; poet bios with the Backwoods Broadsides logo on the rear panel. Only #56 (by Robert Vas Dias, Select Things) has an embellishment on the front cover. Most feature work by a single poet.This collection includes Pollet's signed farewell letter, dated July 2006 and listing all the contributors whose work was published as part of the series. In addition, there is a postcard with a mashup poem, "XXII Spring and All," in which the text of Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow" is interspersed with Pollet's prose between the lines.Pollet was a "[p]oet, teacher, editor, sailor and Buddhist," according to his entry at the Maine State Library. He was associate editor at the National Poetry Foundation, and taught creative writing at the University of Maine. He died soon after the series concluded, in December 2007.Full list of contributors is available upon request.
