About This Item
New York: Author's Edition, 1923. [First Edition]. H.P. Lovecraft helped edit this book of poetry and contributed a 4-1/2 page "Biographical & Critical Preface" comprising over 2000 words, and additionally six poems dedicated to Jonathan E. Hoag, celebrating from his 87th to his 92nd birthdays. Although not written by Lovecraft this is an important addition to a Lovecraft library as his first appearance in hardcovers, a book he helped edit, and his more than 2000 word introduction on Hoag speaks of HPL's own views on poetry. There are additional tributes to Hoag from Winifrid Virginia Jackson, James F. Morton, Arthur H. Goodenough and others. The book is inscribed and signed in a florid hand, by Jonathan E. Hoag, dated July 20, 1923." Hoag lived into his 96th year, passing away in 1927. The gilt on the spine is dulled but readable. The book shows a little wear commensurate with age, and is signed by two additional amateurs of the time. A v.g.- copy.
