Loveman Signed Manuscript

Description:"UNDERSTANDING" ORIGINAL TYPED MANUSCRIPT SIGNED BY SAMUEL LOVEMAN & INSCRIBED "FOR CLARK" ASHTON SMITHSamuel Loveman was a noted poet and friend to Ambrose Bierce, H. P. Lovecraft, and Clark Ashton Smith. It was Loveman who first introduced Howard Phillips Lovecraft to fellow poet Clark Ashton Smith in 1922. This typed manuscript I offer is in Sonnet format and entitled "Understanding", published in his book "The Hermaphrodite". Loveman dedicated the poem to Clark Ashton Smith as evidenced by the manuscript, although when published the dedicatee was not noted.
