[Charles Agvent]

[POUND, Ezra (editor)]. DES IMAGISTES. London & New York: The Poetry 
Bookshop & Albert and Charles Boni, 1914. First Edition. Green boards 
printed in black with the half-title page with Poetry Bookshop imprint 
at bottom; 63 pages. If one book were to be chosen as the starting point 
of modern American poetry, this slim first collection of the Imagist 
school, the literary movement formed by Ezra Pound that lasted from 
1913-1917, might very well be it. It contains 10 poems by Richard 
Aldington and 7 by H. D., whose appearances precede their first books. 
Pound is represented by 6 poems, and James Joyce, William Carlos 
Williams, Ford Madox Hueffer, and Amy Lowell each have a poem included. 
Edited by Pound, though no credit is given, this book was part of the 
same impression as the literary periodical GLEBE for February 1914. 
Gallup B7. Pencil signature on front endpaper; flaking and wear to spine 
with some loss, mostly along the front joint. Good. (#021685)        $200
