Catalogue Note
RARE FIRST EDITION; the 1922 edition is usually considered to be the first. It was printed in 250 copies, of which only 200 were destined for sale.
Chicherin (1889-1960) was a Constructivist poet who contributed to the publication Mena Vsekh (1924). He dedicates this work to his grandchildren (he was only 31 at the time of publication) and instructs it to be read with a Moscow accent or dialect.
