Meer oor die skrywer
Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) was a self-educated American poet, sculptor, painter and author of fantasy, horror and science fiction short stories. He spent most of his life in the small town of Auburn, California, living in the small cabin built by his parents. He hated the provincialism of the small town life but rarely left Auburn until he married late in life.
In the early 1920s Smith found some limited fame as a poet. After publishing a long poem in blank verse, The Hashish Eater, or The Apocalypse of Evil, Smith attracted the attention of H.P. Lovecraft. They became correspondents and friends until Lovecraft‘s death in 1937.
Smith, along with Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, were considered the Big Three of the magazine Weird Tales.
