| Re: Poems
The poem is "An American to the British Flag".
Briefly, the book consists of essays about the major poets of Lovecraft's circle, and an essay covering many of the minor poets. I have written the chapter on Lovecraft, and (as co-editor) the introduction and that final essay about the lesser poets, and I am also working on the essay about Donald Wandrei.
Briefly, each essay looks proimarily at the poet and the poetry, with each essayist bringing out different aspects according to their concerns. The Lovecraft one expands pretty much on the consensus of the poetry, whilst not quoting at length from it (I decided on a general overview at the time), and the Wandrei piece will be focussed upon close readings of the poems, looking at technical and thematic aspects. The Barlow piece by Massimo Berruti is brilliant; I am pleased like nothing else to be able to provide it.
It will be coming out through Mythos Books. |
