This is the first complete collection of H. P. Lovecraft's poems. It collects those from his letters, manuscripts, publications, and hand written notes. It also contains his only play, a three act play in verse, as well as poetic fragments of verse. For the poem "An American to the British Flag" there is no actual poem, just a note that says "Unavailable", in the 'Notes' section it lists it's first publishing but says, "Not Seen", while the poem "Lullaby for the Dionne Quintuplets" contains 4 blank lines and the the name 'Giambattista della Sforza'. There are about 454-467 or so poems, depending on how they are counted, with or without fragments, or pieces of poems, and sections.
