POETICA DEMENTIA, being More Metrical Offenses by DARRELL SCHWEITZER. Zadok Allen: Publisher, 1997. Sequel to NON COMPOST MENTIS, with fewer limericks, more longer poems, including "Growing Up Weird," "Wilbur Whateley's School Days," "They're Coming to Take Your Brain Away," "Theme for a 1960s Sitcom Based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,'" and the elaborate tour-de-farce, "A Poem from the Late Homo Sapiens Period" which shows what happens if, thousands of years after the extinction of mankind, literary scholars from a successor species get a few things mixed up.

Important note: This booklet had a ten-copy, UNsigned limited, numbered hardcover edition, which is long out of print. Therefore to maintain the integrity of the unsigned edition, all copies of the "trade" editions (what is offered here) are signed by Schweitzer in the back on the Unlimitation page.

The artwork, by Thomas Brown is extremely intriguing, done from stamps made out of potatoes, believe it or not.

A must for all Lovecraft fans!

Always happy to combine shipments on multiple wins.
