- One edition: 3 numbered copies
Underground Poems is an erratic series of signed, limited edition, large format poetry broadsides, which some say bear a passing similarity to other more commercially minded posters found dotted around London's transport system. This is pure coincidence, of course.
'At Mitcham Junction I Fell Down and Slept' by the late Mick Guffan (1953-2006) is #3 in the series. The poem has proved to be remarkably popular and has appeared in many newspapers, journals over the years. Only three copies of this broadside were printed to celebrate the inaugural The Uncorrected Independent Publishers' Fair (2017).
Designed by Mick Khartoum and signed & numbered by him in pencil.
