Where are you finding these "lost" poems? I like WHH quite a bit, though I must confess I never did make it all the way through House on the Borderland.

Here's my citation for it:
The Lost Poetry of William Hope Hodgson, edited by Jane Frank (PS & Tartarus press), was missed when it was published in 2005. The book presents forty-three (more than half those in the collection) previously unpublished poems, many of which use sea imagery and most of which deal with death and dying. The book is a lovely artifact with a photograph of the Aurora Borealis by Hodgson on the cover, purple endpapers, and ribbon bookmark. Many of the stories are morbid. verging on horrific.

oooooh....

Yes, he was good @ "morbid verging on horrific." Thank you. I will have to see if I can acquire a copy.
