Quia Pauper Amavi

Ezra Pound

Published London: The Egoist Ltd., 1919

51pp.; 25.4 x 15.9 cm. Olive-green paper boards back in green cloth. Paper label printed in black up spine.

QPA, one of 500 copies printed by The De La More Press, London, and published by The Egoist. Contains a number of poems by Pound, “Langue d’Oc”, “Moeurs contemporaines” and “Three Cantos” (the Urcantos). With the misprint “Wherefore” instead of “Wherefrom” on p.34 uncorrected. Externally near fine, just a touch of shelf-wear at top and tail of spine, the label a little rubbed. Internally foxed throughout, but nice nonetheless. Gallup A17a.
