I made a few suggestions for omissions and inclusions in a similar collection to be published in London; and out of discussions of such matters with Pound arose the spectre of an introduction by myself. The poems which I wished to include, from among those which the author had omitted, are found together at the back of the book. The order followed throughout the book is, with the exception mentioned, that of original publication of the scattered volumes from which the poems are drawn.' (Quote taken from T. S. Eliot's Introduction) ***First impression of the true first trade edition of "Selected Poems" by the American Modernist poet Ezra Pound. This early publication by Faber & Gwyer is scarce. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
