	The Future Poetry was first published serially in the monthly review Arya between December 1917 and July 1920 in thirty-two instalments. Sri Aurobindo wished to revise the Arya chapters before republishing them and twice undertook this task. The edition SABCL of 1971 is practically a reprint of the Arya chapters (i.e. without revision by Sri Aurobindo). Volume 26 of CWSA contains text of The Future Poetry revised by Sri Aurobindo. All places of the text of this edition that differ from CWSA edition have appropriate footnotes with CWSA text (marked by red numbers).
