Part of Periodicals, II

A rare number from the first volume of Harriet Monroe’s Poetry. Containing a large contribution from American poet Witter Bynner, possibly under Pound’s advice; Bynner and Pound were life-long friends after Homer Pound entrusted the future of EP’s poetic career (or travels to Europe in 1908) to Bynner’s discernment as a well-established poet.

Staples rusted through the front and rear covers; a short tear bottom of front cover; and otherwise quite a fine copy. With a reviewatorial contribution from EP making this Gallup C72.
