This copy appears unread. Subtitled: The Best Fantastic Poems of Clark Ashton Smith. Edited by S.T. Joshi and David Schultz. I like it. I like it quite a lot. That’s right, I like this poetry. Yeah, it’s rather dark, but very soulful and very lyrical. Smith lived most of his life in Auburn, California. Auburn’s not too far away from us. There should be a nice memorial there at the Placer County Museum by the time you read this. Includes a nice cover illustration by Smith a a couple nice full-color interior illustrations as well. Check out some Smith poetry. Richard Bach he ain’t. #17610
