  Clark Ashton Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Smith spent the main part of his life in the small town of Auburn, EHandler: no quick summary.
Smith's formal education was rather limited - he only attended 8 years of grammar school and never went to high school.
He spent most of his life in a state of poverty and was often forced to take menial jobs such as fruit picking and woodcutting in order to support himself and his parents.

 Journal Page 01a2 Article: Clark Ashton Smith's "Nero"
Clark Ashton Smith was born on January 13, 1893, in Long Valley, California, and died in California in August 1961, at the age of 68.
Smith has used the dramatic monologue and extended its reach beyond that of his poetic forbears, and the poem is a high achievement in that broadening.
Smith's contemporary, Edwin Arlington Robinson, also employed imaginary speakers, as in "The Man Against the Sky" (a poem useful for comparison with "Nero," but which is not as strongly developed, because of Robinson's zeal for ambiguity).

His Clark Ashton Smith research began in 1975; his biography of Smith will be published by Arkham House in the near future.
After minimal formal schooling, Smith achieved early local recognition, largely through the advocacy of George Sterling, for his fin de siecle traditional verse.
Thereafter Smith became one of the great legends in American popular fiction until he virtually stopped writing stories in 1937, for reasons never satisfactorily explained, although popular opinion believes he wrote to support his parents and at this date, both parents were dead.
