S.T. Joshi is the editor of Spectral Realms, so the way to get published is to send a poem to him for consideration.

I's rendered as "noonlit" in all the print sources I've looked at (
The Hill of Dionysus,
Selected Poems, and the Hippocampus edition of
The Complete Poetry and Translations). It is quite an evocative term for the phenomenon of meridian sunlight.

Both Donald Wandrei and Frank Belknap Long have some decent poems (the latter's "On Reading Arthur Machen" is especially good), but I haven't read many other poets from the Weird Tales era. REH's poetry is on my to-read list, and I'll get to it one of these days!
Lilith Lorraine is a name that I have heard, only because CAS apparently wrote an introduction to one of her books:

Have you found any of Lorraine's verse online or in print Sojourner? Any particular poems from her that you can recommend?
