Robert E. Howard ("REH") was a passionate poet who embraced the art form throughout his entire life. Though he completed around 300 stories intended for commercial audiences and contributed to 300 more, he authored over 700 poems-almost none of which were aimed at commercial markets. His first published work beyond school was the poem "The Sea," showcased in a local publication. The renowned couplet "All fled, all done..." borrowed from Viola Garvin was allegedly the last phrase he typed. And between these significant moments, poetry surged from him.

Howard's poetry offered a candid window into his soul. It reflected his awe, fascination, trepidation, and repulsion without reservation. His focus remained on the genuine expression of his emotions and thoughts, rather than the potential judgment of future readers. This unapologetic honesty is perhaps the hallmark of any true poet-the bravery to articulate one's deepest desires and concerns.

"The Collected Poetry of Robert E. Howard, Volume 3" is the final installment of an all-encompassing three-volume set featuring all discovered poetry by Howard, complete with earlier drafts where available. This collection stands as the definitive compendium of Robert E. Howard's poetic legacy.
