	ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION POETRY GUIDE: ROBERT E. HOWARD'S POETRY
		Poems and stories, long and short, were returned 'with soul-killing regularity.'" [p.197] "Yet, this very sloughing off of reality is the essence of a poet.
		Since honest poems are a window on the poet's soul, consideration of the major themes of the poems show us the main concerns of the lonely young man in Cross Plains.
		Undoubtedly those soul-shaking ghouls and fl fiends among whom he lived were the price the artist had to pay to gain the intensity of feeling and that secret pool of magic, mysticism, and myth whence he dredged up wizards, warriors, serpents, and scoundrels to disport themselves with ceaseless energy throughout the Hyborean World.

	cimmeria - Page 2 - Age of Conan Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Cimmeria in the Hyborian Age resemble some of the Celtic culture, but there is not much info about that.
		The first line of the poem is “I remember.” He explained to Smith: “Some mechanism in my sub-consciousness took the dominant characteristics of various prize-fighters, gunmen, bootleggers, oil field bullies, gamblers, and honest workmen I had come in contact with, and combining them all, produced the amalgamation I call Conan the Cimmerian.”
		seeing that this is a thread on Cimmeria, i think its apropriate to have the poem written be Robert E. Howard and the way he imagined it.

	One More Barbarian #38 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The three poems in the Solomon Kane series are adventures in his life and have a very definite placement.
		While "Cimmeria" has never appeared with the Conan stories, it certainly could be; and, in fact, if placed second, after "The Hyborian Age", could serve to set the tone for the stories to follow.
		"Cimmeria" is a great poem, and deserves a larger audience, but the only correct publication of this poem (to the best of my knowledge) has been in The Howard Collector #7.

	The Shadow Singer #5 / VE '02 / REH, "Cimmeria," and Blank Verse
		he poem "Cimmeria" (text: [1] or [2]) is usually placed (by what few critics have considered Robert E. Howard's poetry and poetics at all) among Howard's most important published poems.
		While he was in Mission, he wrote the poem "Cimmeria" (at least, so he told Emil Petaja when he sent him a copy of the poem: "Written in Mission, Texas, February 1932; suggested by the memory of the hill-country above Fredericksburg seen in a mist of winter rain.").
		In his mind, the poem, the place (perhaps "places") that inspired it, and the places and characters inspired by it were special and numinous.

		According to Herodotus (4.13), they live beyond the Arimaspians and were visited by Aristeas, who is said to have written a hexameter poem (now lost) dealing with them.
		The cycle of Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard, set in the fictitious "Hyborian era", features Hyperborea as a far northern land of fair-haired barbarians, to the north and east of Conan's native Cimmeria.
		Inspired by Howard, Lovecraft used the name in his mythology for his version of an Atlantis.

		"Cimmeria" is a great poem, and deserves a larger audience, but the only correct publications of this poem (to the best of my knowledge) has been in The Howard Collector #7 and The "New" Howard Reader #1.
		Conan wandered north when he left Cimmeria and adventured among the Nordheimers, after that he drifted down into Zamora and gradually worked his way West, getting into trouble as he went.
		There is no mention in the thief stories of him having been among the Hyrkanians, but in "Queen Of The Black Coast" it is said that he learned archery there.

		I have not bothered to date the poems specifically as they were all written between late 1993 and early 1995.
		One general note I will make is that not all the poems written in the first person are taken from feelings that I have had directly, some owe their existence to empathy towards other people's situations.
		It is my belief that it is not necessary for a writer to have had direct experience of what he or she is writing about, and that often a clearer perspective is gained when one step removed from the thoughts and feelings described.

	The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 1)
		Know, oh prince, that beneath the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.
		Howard, a native of Texas, was an early contributor to the pulp magazine _Weird Tales_ and a friend and correspondent of H. Lovecraft.
		Conan is a barbarian from the north (Cimmeria), and though in some of the tales he was to become a king, he did not fit in well with civilized men.

	In Search of Cimmeria by Gary Romeo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		REH wrote poems such as “The Dweller in Dark Valley” (most easily found in Echoes From An Iron Harp, Grant, 1972) that suggest a great horror in Dark Valley.
		It was during one of these trips that Howard saw the surrounding mountains misted in clouds and was later inspired to write the poem Cimmeria.
		It was on this trip that Howard wrote the poem “Cimmeria.” The first published Conan story, “The Phoenix on the Sword” appeared later that year.

	Conan of Cimmeria review
		"The Frost Giant's Daughter" is chronologically the earliest in terms of Conan's life, in that it is set in the north, near his homeland of Cimmeria.
		Following a fierce battle, the barbarian, lying exhausted on the battlefield, is visited by a gorgeous and thoroughly naked woman.
		In the end, then, "Queen of the Black Coast" is the sort of story which is less fun to read than it is to reflect back upon...if you know what I mean.

	The REH Forum > Kern Book 3. 'songs Of Victory'
		This is a straightforward S and S tale with realistic interpretations of the clans in Cimmeria and their diverse cultures within one land.
		Still, virtually none of the pastiche writers capture the sense of dismal depression extant in the land of Cimmeria, capturing none of the terrible depression and lingering melancholy Howard hinted at in his poem and the Conan stories.
		In the poem 'Cimmeria' he writes of a 'heritage which wraps me in the grey apparel of ghosts', and I wonder how they can hope to improve on that.

	Pope, Dunciad book 4
		The 1744 version is a thorough revision of the original poem in three books; among other things, the "hero" of the poem has been changed from Lewis Theobald to Colley Cibber (see notes to lines 20 and 532).
		Pope's eighteenth-century poetic diction is challenging enough; even harder are the poem's form, with its parody of pedantic scholarship, and its references to dozens of forgotten names.
		Cimmeria is a region mentioned in Homer where the sun never shines; Pope is punning on the name of Colley Cibber.
