- Notes:
- "The first edition of Poèmes en prose, published by its author in 1915, consisted of fifty poems ... I did a rough English translation of the book ... which omitted ten of the pieces from the original edition of Poèmes en prose ... but in 1990, having looked at my versions again ... I made extensive revisions and added the ten missing pieces, using the 1967 Flammarion text in Plupart du temps, the definitive collection of Reverdy's early books of poetry."--Page 59-60.
