Poems (Egoist Press)

UK true first; there is no US edition of this book and no original-language question. The census claim is confirmed: Poems was arranged in London by H.D. and Bryher with Weaver's agreement and printed without Moore's knowledge or approval — she disapproved of the selection and editing while praising the typography and cover — and it precedes Observations (The Dial Press, New York, 1924). One correction of emphasis the census invites: Observations is NOT the American edition of Poems. It is a separate, larger collection Moore herself assembled, and it was itself revised for a second edition in 1925. Both books are collected as firsts of their own contents; neither supersedes the other, and describing the Dial book as a US issue of the Egoist book is wrong.
