Small Press Traffic

Ephemera

This series collects print ephemera such as broadsides, flyers, posters, event programs, notes, and more, representing SPT’s own programs and projects as well as those of adjacent publishers, organizations, and individuals. These materials are not bound and typically do not extend past one sheet of paper. Though they're now collectibles, many of these items, particularly those created before our current digital marketing age, were created simply to advertise or contextualize live events.

Small Press Traffic is a Bay Area seedbed for poets who push boundaries in the arts. We present programs, publications, and curatorial opportunities with an ethos of radical inclusivity. Committed to this mission since 1974, we highlight diverse, multidisciplinary, and intergenerational practitioners in our public programs, and prioritize equity, accessibility, and collaboration in our working model. SPT also stewards an archive of small press material produced and circulated in the Bay Area over the last half century.
