Here's a good one /lit/-- will it change your opinion on the master of horror?
On the Creation of Niggers
When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

wtf i love lovecraft now

I just love how it makes people like Terry Gross flip out. He's such an undeniable writer that you can't discount his work but the mainstream will never be comfortable with the subject matter.
I don't even like /pol/ but thank God Ezra Pound was a fascist.

Nah. As a poetry and Lovecraft fag I actually already knew about it. I'm a big libfag too but I appreciate Eliot, Pound, Lovecraft, The Nigger of the Narcissus, Wagner's music, etc. Hopefully at some point in your (meaning one's) personal development you outgrow self-righteousness and the need for all expression and artistic production to conform to contemporary standards, your standards, before you can appreciate it.

I'm thinking of picking up Lovecraft, which book has this poetry in it?

the idea that the disavowal of racism is a modern development is absolutely ahistorical.
