S. Flint, H. D., D. H. Lawrence, Amy Lowell and Pound, with incidental poems by Skipwith Cannell, John Cornos, Ford Madox Hueffer, James Joyce, Allen Upward, and William Carlos Williams.  “Its initial appearance as a special issue of the literary magazine The Glebe, and the subsequent book editions published in New York and London.”
