Description: Single grey sheet printed on one side; folded to make four pages, three covered. It contains an Edward James line drawing opposite Olson's poem. This is a promotional piece for an exhibit of Cagli's work at the Knoedler Gallery. Cagli was a major Italian artist, he was born in Italy and died there, but left for the United States to escape Mussolini, became a United States citizen and joined the United States Army. He returned to Europe soon after this exhibit. Olson's third book, X & Y, was published by The Black Sun in 1948 with drawings by Cagli. This precedes that early book, and is the first publication of this important poem later entitled "Mobius Strip."
Notes: "To Corrado Cagli" by Charles Olson (p. [3]) has as first line of poem : Upon a Moebus strip I saw.
