Description: 8vo. pp xx, 154. Original publisher's yellow cloth lettered blue at spine and on front. Some soiling / tanning at spine and top part of upper cover else used near vg copy. Something of a curiosity as the first of this is normally from Chatto and Windus and both Joyce and Lawrence's bibliography do not show this issue. The clue may be a small stamp at the front showing that the book was bought at the New Oxford Book Company in Lahore, possibly indicating a colonial issue or the 'London and Toronto' may indicate a Canadian and Commonwealth printing.

The present anthology is intended to give specimens of their recent work.» Poesie, tra gli altri, di quelli che Pound indicò come i primi «imagist poets» (Richard Aldington e Hilda Doolittle, sua moglie, indicata come di consueto solo con le iniziali H.
