The Great Hunger

No book-club edition. The traps are later appearances of the text, none of them firsts: the poem was collected in A Soul for Sale (Macmillan, London, 1947), a 'first thus' trade appearance; and Irish University Press, Shannon, issued a 1971 facsimile of the Cuala Press edition — a facsimile reproduces the 1942 setting and can deceive at a glance, so confirm the numbered Cuala limitation leaf and the original quarter-linen and blue-board binding.
