In JOE: A Memoir of Joe Brainard, Ron Padgett writes: "Also in February was a poetry reading that Joe, Ted, Dick, Lorenzo Thomas, Peter Orlovsky, Gerald Malanga, and I [.] gave at Wagner College on Staten Island. [.] The night of the reading a blizzard swept over the metropolitan area, and by the time we [.] reached the campus [.] [we found] that only two seats were occupied in a auditorium built for five hundred [.] the readers barely outnumbered the audience. The funny thing is that we had a great time [.] Lorenz [Gude] took photographs." These photographs - two shots of all the readers sitting on stage behind a table, and one of Berrigan and Padgett relaxing backstage - were almost certainly taken by Gude, publisher of Berrigan's C Magazine as well as his original Sonnets.
