Tamar and Other Poems

American origin, and the census wording should be corrected: Peter G. Boyle, New York, 1924 is the true first for the Tamar collection and for the poem "Tamar," and it was never reissued. Roan Stallion, Tamar and Other Poems (Boni & Liveright, New York, 1925) is a separate, newly set and expanded collection — the Tamar contents plus the new narrative "Roan Stallion" and the drama "The Tower Beyond Tragedy" — and is itself the true first of those pieces and the first major publication of Jeffers's mature work; both books are collected in their own right. The first English appearance is the Hogarth Press, London, 1928 (Hogarth Living Poets No. 4), bound from Boni & Liveright American sheets in printed boards designed by Vanessa Bell and recorded at 520 copies of which 130 were later pulped (Woolmer 167) — an issue of American sheets, not a British first.
