At their best, the poems of the late H. P. Lovecraft are little masterpieces of weird narrative, capsuled in sonnet form, as in the thirty-six re-markable Fungi from Yuggoth and The Messenger, each of which is a chilling tale in verse form with all the spreading implications of Lovecraft's best fiction. At its least effective, his poetry is in painstaking imitation of eighteenth century forms, as in Old Christmas and The Poe-et's Nightmare. Between these two extremes lies a wealth of curious, often memorable verse in which Lovecraft employed again and again the themes which made his fiction so popular-poems ranging from the long narrative Psychopompos to such effective shorter poems as The Outpost, The Wood, Nemesis, Where Once Poe Walked, Brick Row, the Drinking Song from The Tomb, and many others. Frank Utpatel has captured the spirit of the poems remarkably well in his highly imagina-tive illustrations for this collection of the best of Lovecraft's poems. The interpretations in pen and ink range over the entire body of Lovecraft's verse, from such an early satire as Mistress Sophia Simple to the horror of Psychopompos, though by inclination he has concentrated on the Fungi from Yuggoth. Utpatel's pen and ink drawings add a dimension to Lovecraft's poetry. H. P. Lovecraft's Collected Poems is an integral part of the library of every aficionado of the macabre.
