Chicago,

January 1923.

Hemingway's six poems published here under the heading 'Wanderings' were all included in his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, published eight months later. At the time Poetry published these, Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, had been living in Paris for two years and were about to find out they were pregnant with their first child. This first edition is the earliest publication of the future Nobel Prize winner's poems. *"Mitrailliatrice" is Italian for "machine gun."
