POETRY A MAGAZINE OF VERSE
1916WRCLIT61467Chicago 1916. Volume VIII. Bound up without wrappers in contemporary limp pebbled calf t.e.g. with 'Monroe' stamped at crown of spine. Extremities worn with split and chip at crown of lower joint but sound and internally very good or better. Edited by Harriet Monroe assisted by Alice Corbin Henderson and with advisors including Ezra Pound Henry B. Fuller et al. The grand dame of U.S. literary periodicals of the 20th century and through successive editorships a survivor unto this day. As Hoffman et al note "the most exciting years of POETRY were the first ones 1912-1917 when the debate over free verse and imagism seemed vital." Pound's association with POETRY as foreign correspondent was an integral part of that vitality and lasted in a formal sense from the first issue up through February 1919 and it was via his efforts that so many significant poets from abroad found regular publication in POETRY. Contributors to this volume include Bodenheim Bynner Eliot Lindsay Lowell Pound Rhys et al. unknown books
