Last Poems

UK precedes US. Grant Richards (London), 19 October 1922, is the true first. Henry Holt and Company (New York) published the first American edition later the same year — dealer copies record it as printed in November 1922 — and it is a separate edition rather than an issue of the London sheets; both are dated 1922, so the imprint separates them. Last Poems is the companion volume to A Shropshire Lad (1896) and the two are collected together, but note that A Shropshire Lad has its own and considerably thornier precedence and issue history (Kegan Paul, London, 1896, published at the author's expense); none of its points transfer to this book.
