Collected Poems

Overview

Expedition register ME-1935-S43/8770 — cross-index under slug `collected-poems`.

Collected Poems enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Collected Poems if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Description

Scale estimates in the files range from human to architectural, which usually means the observer was not the unit of measure.

The thing called Collected Poems left no consistent footprint; it left expectations broken in the nervous system.

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

Historical Record

Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.

A 1931 Miskatonic committee voted to suppress photography; the vote is on file, the plates are not.

Field Observations

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
