Book 2 of 3: The Collected Poetry of Robert E. Howard
Synopsis
Robert E. Howard ("REH") was an avid poet, composing verse from the beginning to the end of his life and throughout its entirety. Although he completed approximately 300 stories for commercial consumption and had a hand in 300 more, he penned over 700 poems-virtually none intended for commercial markets. His first published work beyond his school was the poem "The Sea," featured in a local newspaper. Reportedly, the last words he typed were the well-known couplet "All fled, all done..." borrowed from Viola Garvin. In between these milestones, poetry flowed from him effortlessly.
In his poetry, Howard revealed his authentic self, unfiltered. His verses captured his amazement, curiosity, fears, and revulsion. He was unconcerned with how future readers might perceive him as a writer. This unbridled honesty is perhaps characteristic of any genuine poet-the courage to express one's innermost thoughts.
"The Collected Poetry of Robert E. Howard, Volume 2" is part of a comprehensive three-volume set encompassing all known poetry by Howard, including earlier drafts where they exist. This collection truly represents the ultimate anthology of Robert E. Howard's poetic works.

About the Authors
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) spent his formative years in the thriving towns of early 20th-century Texas, eventually making Cross Plains his permanent residence. Choosing to pursue a career in literature, he dedicated his time to developing stories and poems for the flourishing pulp fiction scene, contributing to publications like Weird Tales, Action Stories, Fight Stories, and Argosy. Howard's literary acclaim was solidified with the release of "The Shadow Kingdom" in 1928, which showcased a distinctive fusion of fantasy and adventure, now known as Heroic Fantasy. The enduring legacy of his iconic characters-Conan the Cimmerian, Kull the Conqueror, Solomon Kane, and others-continues to earn him widespread recognition.
Rob Roehm has gone to every location in the United States that Howard mentions visiting-from New Orleans to Santa Fe, and dozens of Texas towns in between-verifying and expanding our knowledge of Howard's biography. His research has also uncovered lost Howard stories, letters, and poems. He writes about these discoveries, infrequently, at howardhistory.com.
