Notes: His first book, inscribed by the author on the flyleaf to a fellow poet: 'James Elroy Flecker, from Douglas Goldring, Nov. 5th 1910. Redintegratio!' Flecker's 'Thirty-Six Poems' appeared with the same, short-lived publisher – an imprint of Goldring's magazine, 'The Tramp' – in this year. Though Goldring had earlier been critical of what he regarded as the derivative aesthetic posturing of Flecker's 'Bridge of Fire' (1907), the two established a friendship and correspondence; Goldring's 1922 'James Elroy Flecker: An Appreciation...' is a full account of their association and admiration....moreHis first book, inscribed by the author on the flyleaf to a fellow poet: 'James Elroy Flecker, from Douglas Goldring, Nov. 5th 1910.
