Pickpocket Series: Complete Set.
San Francisco: Sore Dove Press, 2007.

Complete collection of seven small folding folios, each approximately 12mo and finished with a printed paper cover label. Every folio contains a literary broadside signed by its author together with an original work of art.

Contributors include Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Hirschman, Ann Menebroker, Linda King, S.A. Griffin, Neeli Cherkovski, and Garrett Caples. Six folios contain original artwork by the contributing poet; the Ferlinghetti folio is accompanied by original artwork by Sore Dove Press founder Soheyl Dahi.

Each folio was issued in an edition of only 26 copies. Complete sets are scarce, particularly with all seven signed broadsides and their corresponding original artworks intact.

A distinctive collaborative production from San Francisco’s later Beat and countercultural literary circle, anchored by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and several poets closely associated with the city’s alternative poetry scene.
