The Castaway and Other Poems

UK only: Jonathan Cape, London, 1965 is the true and only separate first edition. There is no separate American edition of The Castaway. In the US, a selection from the collection appeared inside The Gulf (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York, 1970), which combines the whole of the UK collection The Gulf and Other Poems (Cape, 1969) with poems drawn from The Castaway. The FSG volume is therefore the first American appearance of some of these poems, but it is not an edition of The Castaway and carries no priority over the 1965 Cape printing. This confirms the census note.
