Green with Beasts

W.S. Merwin · Alfred A. Knopf (New York) and Rupert Hart-Davis (London), both 1956 · 1956

Both the US Knopf and UK Hart-Davis editions appeared in 1956 and precedence between them is not firmly established; some bibliographic listings place Knopf (New York) first. This should be treated as two same-year firsts rather than a settled UK-first. Collect whichever imprint you have as a 1956 first edition.
