“A collection of poems which have stuck in my memory and which may possibly define their epoch, or at least rectify current ideas of it in respect to at least one contour.”

Collected in 1931 and published in 1932, the third of EP’s six poetry anthologies (editorial of Exile aside). Number 29 of 250 copies printed privately by John [Giovanni] Scheiwiller. With poems by a slew of great names, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, H. D., Yeats, Eliot, Marianne Moore, Mina Loy, e. e. cummings, Ernest Hemingway, Robert McAlmon, Ralph Cheever Dunning, Louis Zukofsky, … it goes on. Presented chronologically with Pound’s interspersed commentary to guide the reader. Fine inside; the covers somewhat faded with a little chipping to the oversized fore; spine without any creasing. Gallup B28.
