RICHARD ALDINGTON : War and Love (1915-1918)

The Four Seas Company, Boston, 1919

The first edition of this collection of Great War and love poems: the author's second US publication, which saw no equivalent UK issue. 8vo. 94pp. Patterned paper-covered boards with paper spine and title labels. Head of spine chipped, and base of spine and corner tips a little rubbed. A very good copy with the blurb portion of the uncommon dust wrapper pasted to the front free endpaper. A three-page foreword by the author (in the form of a letter to the Imagist poet F.S.Flint), precedes forty-four Great War poems and eighteen love poems. To Aldington's disappointment Constable declined to publish the collection in the UK, and the author was forced to split the war and love poems, each eventually being issued separately: 'Images of War' by Allen & Unwin in December 1919 (an edition which omitted some of these poems, and added others) and 'Images of Desire' by Elkin Matthews in June 1919. Kershaw 9.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover
