      abstract = {"American poet Leah Bodine Drake (1904-1964) attained  celebrity with the publication of A Hornbook for Witches  (1950), the first book of poetry issued by the legendary  small-press publisher Arkham House. But that slim volume is  only the tip of the iceberg of her writing. [...]  This  volume gathers, for the first time, the entirety of Drake's  poetic output--more than 360 poems, including hundreds of  uncollected and unpublished poems. Drake published her work  in such distinguished magazines as the Atlantic Monthly and  the New Yorker. Most of her poetry is not weird, but her  fantasy and horror verse did grace the pages of Weird  Tales, the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and  other venues. In addition, this volume contains four of her  short stories (two of which were published in Weird Tales),  and assortment of her essays and reviews, and letters to  August Derleth, Anthony Boucher, Joseph Payne Brennan, and  select others. Drake's file copies of her poetry were  consulted, allowing for chronological arrangement of her  verse. A thorough recount of Drake's life and a  comprehensive bibliography of her published and unpublished  work are also included here. Drake's well-crafted poetry  draws upon myth, legend, and history to underscore her deep  understanding of human life and emotions. This definitive  compilation will establish Leah Bodine Drake as a  significant voice in twentieth-century poetry."--},
