Clark Ashton Smith

For thoughtful child sponsors
Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 - August 14, 1961), while best known today for his association with H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, he is also thought of by many as being a unique master of fantasy, horror fiction, and science fiction. While Smith thought of himself primarily as a poet and wrote over 700 poems and prose poems, he is better known today for his short stories. Clark Ashton Smith was also a self-taught artist whose paintings, drawings, and sculptures reflect the fantastic worlds of his fiction.
