First edition, one of 300 copies, inscribed ‘for D. G. Bridson, Sept. 21, 1957, Louis Zukofsky’.

Bridson and Zukofsky had mixed in the same circles since the ’30s, both friends of Pound and contributors to the same poetry journals, as well as to Pound’s Active Anthology. But they only met for the first time in London in 1957 when Zukofsky was on a European trip, the basis of his long poem ‘4 Other Countries’.
