The Giant's Thumb
(Unpublished)
The Giant's Thumb" is an anthology of Crowley's
poetry, compiled between 1904 and 1914 and dedicated to
Theodor Reuss. It was to have been published in London
in 1914 but this fell through and Crowley, who had by then traveled
to America, arranged for it to be published by Mitchell Kennerly in
New York, in 1915.
The volume reached proof stage, and one copy
was printed, which Crowley duly corrected, but his poor finances
stalled the process and it remained unpublished during his lifetime.
Crowley retained the corrected Mitchell Kennerly proofs, which
survived various vicissitudes until they found sanctuary in the
collection of Gerald Yorke.
