A Ballad of Remembrance
Robert Hayden · Paul Breman, London · 1962
No book-club issue — the entire printing was 300 numbered copies. Distinguish the three issues by numbering and paper alone: ordinary (1–250, white paper), de-luxe (I–XXV, tinted paper), author/publisher presentation (A–Z). The trap is Selected Poems (October House, New York, 1966), a US collection reprinting much of the book that is often mistaken for the first appearance of these poems; later collected editions print Hayden's revised texts rather than the 1962 readings.
