Cathay

No book-club issue. The reprint tells are the collected appearances rather than separate editions: the poems folded into Lustra (London 1916; New York, Knopf, 1917), then into Personae and the New Directions collected volumes. Modern separate reissues are clearly identifiable — the New Directions Cathay: The Centennial Edition (2015) and the Fordham Cathay: A Critical Edition (2019, ed. Billings, Bush, Saussy) are scholarly reprints carrying modern ISBNs and are the commonest items misdescribed as Cathay firsts. Any hardbound copy is not the original issue: the 1915 book was issued only in wrappers.
