Leonard Cline's After-Walker

Cline submitted a volume of his poems to the Viking Press in 1927.  It was titled Haunted House, and it was evidently in the works when Cline died unexpectedly in January 1929.  The publication was deferred in the hopes of finding additional poems.  Six, including Cline's long poem "After-Walker," were added to the collection and it was published in May 1930.  The illustration on the cover, by Ilse Bischoff (1903-1990), who illustrated her own books like The Wonderful Poodle (1953), along with another dozen written by others, had clearly been commissioned when the book was titled Haunted House.
