About this Item

Volume VII. Six issues, bound up in the publisher's green cloth, twith general title and index, but without wrappers. Some minor pencil annotations in the index, prelim i/ii has tear in top margin, otherwise about fine. 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 Aldington, Eliot, Flint, Kreymborg, Pound, Yeats, Sandburg, Stevens, Masters, et al. Seller Inventory # WRCLIT88553
