Publication date: Winter 2008

Introduction

"The Ballad of King Geraint" and "Zukala's Mating Song" are slightly different from the version published in The Collected Poetry of Robert E. Howard.

The remainder of the content items are facsimile copies of Howard typescripts.

"The Guise of Youth" and "Roads" were originally published as two separate poems, but are likely a single poem.

As a young man, Howard contributed to The Junto, a circulating publication written by a group of his friends and himself. During circulation, the group would write comments about the content, which was then typed up and distributed with the following issue of The Junto. "The Commentary" collects such comments made by Howard, edited by Rob Roehm.

untitled "I'm more than a man" is from the single page draft of the story "Yellow Laughter"
