Five volumes of _Georgian Poetry_ have so far been published. All but
one of these volumes, that for 1916-1917, contain contributions by Mr.
Lawrence. He is represented in the above collection, at pages 113-116,
by “Snap-Dragon,” a poem which was printed in the _English Review_, June
1912, but which appeared for the first time between boards in _Georgian
Poetry_. It was later included in _Amores_.
In America, the five volumes of _Georgian Poetry_ were published, from
the Poetry Bookshop sheets, by G. P. Putnam’s Sons.

To the second volume of _Georgian Poetry_ Mr. Lawrence contributed

Mountains;” “Cruelty and Love.” They occupy pages 153-158. The last was
reprinted from _Love Poems_; the first was later included in _Look!
We Have Come Through!_ where it appeared under the title “Giorno dei
Morti.” “Meeting among the Mountains” has not, unless I am mistaken, been
included in any of Mr. Lawrence’s books of verse.
SOME IMAGIST POETS
Published April 1915
SOME IMAGIST / POETS / An Anthology / (_publishers’ device_) / Boston and
New York / Houghton Mifflin Company / The Riverside Press Cambridge / 1915
COLLATION:—pp. ii + x + 96, consisting of leaf, not reckoned in
pagination, recto blank (with seven titles in _The New Poetry
Series_, surrounded by one-line border, on verso), pp. (i, ii);
half-title (verso blank), pp. (i, ii); title-page, as above

as follows: _The Riverside Press_ / _Cambridge . Massachusetts_
/ _U . S . A_
Crown 8vo, 7¾ × 5⅝; issued in plain flexible boards, with surrounding
green paper wrappers glued along back strip only; front cover lettered in
black as follows: _Some Imagist Poets_ / _An Anthology_ / _The New Poetry
Series_ / (publishers’ device) _Houghton Mifflin Company_ / _Boston and
New York_ / (small ornament). Lettered down backstrip: _Some Imagist
Poets_ Back cover blank. All edges cut flush with boards. Wrappers
over-lap top and bottom edges ⅛ inch, and fold in three inches at fore
edges of boards. End-papers white.
To this volume, the first of three _Imagist Anthologies_ published by
the Houghton Mifflin Company, Mr. Lawrence contributed seven poems as
follows: “Ballad of Another Ophelia;” “Illicit;” “Fireflies in the Corn;”
“A Woman and Her Dead Husband;” “The Mowers;” “Scent of Irises;” “Green.”
These poems occupy pages 67 to 78. The first and sixth appeared later in
_Amores_. The second, third, fifth, and seventh were included in _Look!
We Have Come Through!_ But, “The Mowers,” revised, was here printed under
the title “A Youth Mowing,” and “Illicit” became “On a Balcony.” “A Woman
and Her Dead Husband” is, in _New Poems_, “The Bitterness of Death.”
Because the contributors to the _Imagist Anthologies_ had agreed among
themselves to submit nothing that had previously appeared in book
form, these collections are of especial interest to collectors of Mr.
Lawrence’s first printings in books.
The _Imagist Anthologies_ were published in England by Constable and
Company, but after the American editions, which were the first.

To the second _Imagist Anthology_ Mr. Lawrence contributed five poems:
“Erinnyes;” “Perfidy;” “At the Window;” “In Trouble and Shame;” “Brooding
Grief.” These poems occupy pages 67-74. All but “Erinnyes,” most
beautiful of war poems, were later included in _Amores_. Any one of the
many anthologies of war poetry might have enriched itself greatly by
including “Erinnyes.” If any such collection did make use of this poem, I
am unaware of it.

To this, the third and last Houghton Mifflin _Imagist Anthology_, Mr.
Lawrence contributed only one poem, “Terra Nuova,” which occupies pages
69-75. “Terra Nuova” was later included in _Look! We Have Come Through!_
under the title “New Heaven and Earth.”

To this representative collection of modern verse, prose, and pictures
Mr. Lawrence contributed two poems: “Labour Battalion” and “No News,”
which occupy pages 37-39. So far as I am aware neither of these poems has
been reprinted in any of Mr. Lawrence’s books of poems. It is likely
that the edition of _New Paths_ was small, for this book has already
become scarce—at least for an anthology.
An American edition of _New Paths_ was published by Alfred A. Knopf, New
York, 1918.

Contains: “Gloire de Dijon;” “Service of All the Dead,” by Mr. Lawrence.
These poems were reprinted from _Look! We Have Come Through!_ The second
poem appears in this volume under the title “Giorno dei Morti.” Probably
Mr. Davies took it directly from _Georgian Poetry_: 1913-1915, where the
older title was used.

A note must suffice to describe this very beautiful anthology of English
and French verse, prose, woodcuts, etchings, etc. The edition of _The New
Keepsake_ was limited to 620 copies for general distribution; 50 copies
on Japanese vellum, numbered from 1 to 50; 20 copies on blue vellum,
numbered from 51 to 70; 550 copies on hand-made paper, numbered from 71
to 620. The blue vellum copies were bound in black buckram, lettered in
pink; those on hand-made paper were done in yellow buckram, lettered in
black. I have not seen a copy of this book on Japanese vellum. Copies
on this and blue vellum are, in the nature of things, now very scarce;
but the cheapest form of the book can still be bought from dealers at a
nominal advance over publication price, which was 18s. 6d.
“Adolf,” Mr. Lawrence’s contribution to _The New Keepsake_, occupies
pages 19-33. It is a beautiful story—one which should certainly find
a place in some future collection of his shorter pieces. “Adolf” was
published in the _Dial_, September, 1920.
