I'm wondering whether or not CAS has romantic poetry or stories. This is a great interest of mine in literature, so I was wondering what works of CAS are considered to be romantic? Also, anything with space or death I would love to read! Thanks for your help, everyone!

Clark's romantic poetry should be collected into a single volume -
It is scattered through all the works of poetry published during his
lifetime - "The Charnal God" is a kind of "true love endures all things" story, though the action does not explore the lover's
intimate life, only the magnitude of the love. "Monster of the
Prophecy" ends with a blissful and highly imaginative relationship
no doubt mutually satisfying to both parties - enjoy your excursions
into fantasyland

Hiya!

Get hold of The Last Oblivion as there are some romantic poems in one section there. Also, don't forget your old favorite "Sadastor"... it has a fond place in my heart too.

Another favourite story of mine is "A Night in Malneant"... there is death and romance, of a sort, there.

You can search this site with choice words "love"... "beloved"... and so on, as Boyd has reminded us.

SANDALWOOD is essentially a collection of love poems, while the cycles "The Jasmine Girdle" and "The Hill of Dionysus" (both included as separate sections in SELECTED POEMS) are groups of love poems dedicated to Genevieve Sully and Madelynne Greene, respectively. Love and loss are two of Smith's major themes, and can be found in a great many of his stories, starting with "The End of the Story" and "The Last Incantation" and continuing on to "Phoenix" and "Morthylla" in his last years.

Best,
Scott
