A precocious intellect even before the age of sixteen, Robert Barlow had so many projects in the air at one time, it's a wonder he managed to bring any to fruition, but with LEAVES, he did. Two issues were published, and they are both scarce. This first issue presented the incomplete, William Beckford—Story of the Princess Zulkais and the Prince Kalilah—and finished by Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E.

H.P. LOVECRAFT'S aunt Lilian has died. It shows the level of continued committment that HPL had to Amateur Journalism that he notified the organization ( or was it simply C.W. Smith with whom he had a personal and lengthy relationship with) that his aunt had died. I do think that Lovecraft had a better rapport with his aunts than he ever did with his mother. Also poetry by Kuntz & Goodenough. HPL06/17 View more info

Lovecraft's death reverberates like a shock wave thru Amateur Journalism; Willard Wylie writes: "I know of H.P. Lovecraft but I never met him. I have had a consciousness of his literary ability not only in the amateur press but in the larger sphere of professional activities in which he acquired a worthy reputation. . " C. W.Tryout Smith writes yet again in his essay - HOWARD PRESCOTT LOVECRAFT - (Ya' gotta love old Smith!) - "A genius has been taken from among us.

James F. Morton, Jr., snipes back at Lovecraft in a one-page commentary on HPL's acumen to which Morton confesses—"Peccav!" Guilty, or I have sinned. "All I can do is congratulate Mr. Lovecraft on his marvellous acumen which has enabled him to discover the astonishing fact, that Persia is not in Europe, and the noble zeal, which has impelled him to lose no time in imparting the information to the amateur world, otherwise certain to have been fatally mislead by my criminal carelessness." Of course in the long ensuing years, HPL and Morton became very very dear friends. Lovecraft just had t... View more info

Lovecraft edited this little chapbook of poetry from an amateur "oldtimer" of whom he was quite fond. Hyman Bradofsky, publisher of THE CALIFORNIAN and correspondent of HPL's told me that HPL "touched up" some—if not all of these poems." Lovecraft wrote a two-page introduction defining Dr. Kuntz's poetry, thusly—"often Alexandrine—. . . exhibiting apt and stately compound words sometimes coined with vast originality and spontaneousness." From the HYMAN BRADOFSKY collection. One of only three books edited by HPL. These early amateur publications are rare. Quite a nice copy, with Pi... View more info

The publisher/editor Ms. Cole doesn't date this issue but from its appearance I'm guessing, 1915. Lovecraft is only briefly mentioned and you have to dig to find it - in regards to an article he must've written re: "simple language" - "It rather amused me to read his (Brander Matthews) brief for the simplified spelling and shortly after Mr. Lovecraft's fervent denunciation of that famous movement (Populist) . I am wondering whether Mr. Lovecraft has read, "Other Days." I feel sure he would find Mr. Matthews defense most interesting." V.g. copy. Unfolded. String-tie stil... View more info

The amateur journals were the internet of their time, poetry, stories, gossip, memoirs, deaths & births, noted events, and celebrities–H.P.
