Three Stories and Ten Poems

Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923) was the first short story collection by Ernest Hemingway; it was also his first published work. The collection was privately published in a run of 300 copies by Robert McAlmon's "Contact Publishing" in Paris, in 1923.

The three stories are:

  • "Up in Michigan"
  • "Out of Season"
  • "My Old Man"

The ten poems are:

  • "Mitraigliatrice"
  • "Oklahoma"
  • "Oily Weather"
  • "Roosevelt"
  • "Captives"
  • "Champs d'Honneur"
  • "Riparto d'Assalto"
  • "Montparnasse"
  • "Along With Youth"
  • "Chapter Heading"

In "My Old Man," Hemingway used jockey Tod Sloan as a basis for the puzzled boy trying to identify the source of his father's shame, and the father who cannot divulge it.

Famous quotes containing the words stories, ten and/or poems:

    Young man, there is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    With five to ten hundred pure-minded young women threading the streets of the village every evening unattended, vice must slink away, like frost before the rising sun ...
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    There’s a wonderful family called Stein:
    There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.
    Gert’s poems are bunk,
    Ep’s statues are junk,
    And no-one can understand Ein.
