This copy
First edition

What a true first shows: The physical copy shown is the 1923 annual (B. J. Brimmer Company, 1923). This is an annual series; the 1923 volume is its own single edition. Note: the entered title says '1920' and one supplied photo shows a 1920 Small, Maynard & Company title page that does NOT match the rest of this book.

This is an annual series; the 1923 volume is its own single edition.

This first edition was issued by B. J. Brimmer in November 1923, and the anthology includes Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” as well as poems by Wallace Stevens, Vachel Lindsay, Stephen Vincent Benét, Elinor Wylie, Louis Untermeyer, and others.
