Re: Lovecraft's Colleagues

The selection of writings by Edith Miniter is now available:

Dead Houses & Other Works by Edith Miniter- Hippocampus Press

as is the complete collection of Wandrei's poems:

Sanctity and Sin: The Collected Poetry and Prose-Poems of Donald Wandrei - Hippocampus Press

For those who shy away from poetry (often because of the way poetry is taught in school, or because of the feeling of being inaccessible to readers often engendered by modern verse -- or to modern readers by darned near any verse, it seems) I'd highly recommend giving Wandrei's verse a go, as it is frequently intensely powerful and evocative. And, of course, for those who are fans of Lovecraft, there's the fact that Wandreis' sonnet sequence almost certainly had an influence on Lovecraft's own Fungi from Yuggoth (1929-30) as well....
