Discrete Series

US only — census claim confirmed. There was no contemporaneous UK or other-language edition; The Objectivist Press (the Zukofsky / Reznikoff / Oppen imprint, whose books were underwritten directly by their authors) issued it in New York in 1934 in a small printing. Subsequent appearances are the 1966 Mother/Asphodel photographic reprint and the collected editions (Collected Poems, 1975; New Collected Poems, 2002), none of which are firsts. Print runs of roughly 500 copies are cited in the trade but could not be confirmed against a second independent source, so no figure is asserted here.
