description There are two versions of T. S. Eliot’s second complete volume of poems: the US edition, Poems (1920), and the UK edition, Ara Vos Prec (The Ovid Press). While Ezra Pound arranged the poems of the American Poems (1920), Eliot himself determined the sequence of poems for Ara Vos Prec. This paper examines the history and the material form of Ara Vos Prec in order to understand how Eliot, while not under the influence of Pound, read his own poetry in 1920, and how he envisioned and guided his different audiences — public and coterie — in reading it.
