Selected Poems, undated

First set of undated galley proofs of Selected Poems , corrected by Wieners for the London publisher Jonathan Cape, Limited. This item preceded the publication of the 1972 Selected Poems . Noted in Wilson's hand as "the controversial galley proofs." Wieners had dealt directly with Cape for a volume of his collected works, a move unknown to Wilson; copyright and legal issues arose involving plans Wilson had for a volume of Wieners's collected works to appear after Ace of Pentacles (published by Wilson and James Carr in 1964) had gone out of print. At the time of the "controversial galley proofs," many copies of the volume were still available
