The Triumph of Achilles

A US book with no competing edition: the Ecco Press New York 1985 printing is the true first, and no contemporaneous UK edition is recorded in any source consulted — note that the census assertion of "US only" was not independently confirmed and is reported, not vouched for. No original-language question arises; Glück wrote in English. The "first thus" traps are downstream: the poems were later gathered into Glück's collected and selected volumes (and the collection was reissued by Ecco/HarperCollins), and none of those are printings of the 1985 book.
