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.
