Ezra Pound
231pp.; 23.2 x 14.5 cm. Dark blue cloth boards stamped in gold on front cover and spine.
Published New York: Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1938
Part of Ezra Pound, III.
First edition, fifth printing of this collected edition that kept Pound’s poetry available for many years. The first two impressions were published by Boni and Liveright, the third and fourth by Horace Liveright, and the fifth and sixth by the Liveright Publishing Corporation, all from the same plates, each with their own idiosyncracies. Includes a selection of poems from before 1908 up to Homage to Sextus Propertius and Hugh Selwyn Mauberley. Near fine; just a touch of shelf-wear. Gallup A27a.
