Framed Harold Town Literary Poster

Striking Harold Town poster for the publication “Soundings: New Canadian Poets”, pencil signed and numbered 6/99 lower right, published by House of Anansi, combines bold literary typography with Town’s spare, expressive line drawing. A fluid black figure is loosely sketched across a cream field, framed by a deep blue-grey border, giving the work a modernist, almost calligraphic energy. Created for the 1970 Canadian poetry anthology Soundings: New Canadian Poets, the poster connects postwar Canadian art with the country’s emerging literary scene. A perfect collectible crossover piece for admirers of Canadian modernism, poetry, and small-press publishing.
