Quote:
October 1944: Arkham House publishes Smith's second book of short stories LOST WORLDS, dedicated "To August Derleth and Donald Wandrei." Circa the late 1940's, Smith assists Kenneth Yasuda with the "Englishing" of haiku from the Japanese. He becomes fascinated with the form's possibilities in English and creates over 100 haiku, many of which he includes in his SELECTED POEMS, in the section EXPERIMENTS IN HAIKU.

Principal Facts of Biography by Donald Sydney-Fryer
The bibliography entry for
Selecte Poems will list all the CAS haiku and take you to the indervidual poems.

Clark Ashton Smith
Horned skulls and boned hooves
Litter the field
Together with the fallen leaves.
One of my personal favourites.
