Theses are all anthologies that contain the works of CAS.

I know it's quite a long list, but the list of contents I do have is several times longer. I have searched for each title on more than one occasion, and while I'm proberbly wrong in a couple of cases most of theses do no have listings on the net so i need the help of people who may own the titles.

Boyd, I have the one mentioned elswhere - but I may also still have
California Poets - one of those books you listed has Clark under his pseudonym, Timeus Gaylord - for those who don't already know this, the Timeus was his father's first name, and Gaylord his mother's maiden name.
Also for those who might not have run across it, The Timeus is Plato's
radical dialogue which contradicts most of his other stuff, and is where Atlantis is mentioned.

ps - I will try to get some contents to you,perhaps a piece at a time.

I was surprised after looking at your list of titles, that it does not seem to include the Panther paperback editions from the 1970's. I own this collection. Were they left out because these ones were poorer in quality or already included in other compilations?

NightHalo: Just the contents, follow the links to the bibliography to see how they are used.

Raven10: Look at the links provided they are the anthologies not already in the bibliography.

I did look at the bibliography but chance would have it that it was a short story which had no "full contents."

Anyway, I will go pull that book out of the library again tomorrow and give you a list of all the authors and stories which are included in it. Please help me help you if this is wrong.

In two days a few other books will arrive from the NLRF.

I'm curious about your operating premise. Since the bibliography concerns CAS, what's the importance of knowing what else is printed in an anthology other than the CAS work?

I've seen hundreds of bibliographies, but never one that lists, with regard to the subject-author's appearances in anthologies, the works of other writers. The contents list for some of the California poetry anthologies will run to dozens of entries. It's your project, so knock yourself out, but I don't get it. Of course, I don't get lots of things....

The context may be relevent for some people.
It might not be the case here, but sometimes you deal with books that have never been properly content-listed anywhere. It's a good occasion to do it. That's what I tend to do whenever I can in my French CAS bibliography [www.klarkash-ton.org].

You know one of the most rewarding things about recording these bibliographies is to see the little notes before the poems about the poets. For example, here is a little jewel from the American Poetry anthology about Clark Ashton Smith:

"In the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas (in Auburn, California) this young lonely poet has his eyrie, where he has chanted his high Orphic songs. These are gathered into three volumes, two of which are The Star-Treader and Ebony and Crystal. He has an imagination, powerful, somber and far-flying. He loves to swing out into the wonders and terrors of the Void. He shows affinities with Poe, Baudelaire and Sterling. His Poem, The Hashish-Eater, or the Apocalypse of Evil, has been called "the greatest poem in the literature of the grotesque," and he himself has been called (justly, I think) "America's boy-wonder."


Meanwhile, the note for poets like TS Eliot and Ezra Pound were bland to say the least. In my humble opinion, the fact that there was a point when poetry regarded poets like CAS higher than someone like TS Eliot is something very interesting and thought-provoking in light of the common "Poetic History" taught in institutions. I am not sure if that is what Boyd has in mind, but I do think the more roads the better, especially if somehow one of these little bibliographies opens a door to a forgotten poet or two.

I blame Ian Davey :-) Well he started the bibliography and i just followed his lead on that matter. If I had started it myself I probably would not have done something so comprehensive. But since doing it that way I think its a great opportunity to get the info out there as said before a lot of the information is not on the web in any other form. In print you have a space limitation, not an issue for me.

It's kind of a coincidence, but at the time your above message was posted, Calonan, I had just mentioned Plato's Timaeus in a story I was writing. Rather than mention this in this forum, I decided instead to post the story in its entirety here when it was done, (a plan which was later vetoed by the management). Anyhow, a rather interesting coincidence.

Yes, blame me why don't you :-) I chose to do it that way originally as I did want it to be as comprehensive and useful as possible. I had the information to hand at the time and thought it might prove useful to other bibliographers.

It's good to see the ones missing details finally being fleshed out.

They were also a lot easier to do that the pure Smith entries, with all the hyperlinks and cross references. Selected Poems was not fun... It was good to finally get the chance to move it into Boyd's Wiki.

I do, for everything :-)

Have you seen the latest incarnation of the bibliography? Now it's in a properly designed db, so i don't have to edit so many pages, just add the publication and the rest takes care of it self -wohoo.

Still a lot of cutting and pasting to go, but I'll get there.

Yes I have, it's looking great. It was always destined to become a database. At least it should make it a lot easier to cross reference.
