context_section_description: A Man from Genoa and Other Poems (1926) (Athol, MA: W. Paul Cook)
  The Goblin Tower (Cassia FL: Dragon-Fly Press, 1935; New Collectors Group, 1945. Note: Due to the somewhat misleading publisher's introduction to the New Collectors Group  edition, it is often mis-catalogued as a reprint of the 1935 Dragon-Fly Press edition. In fact, the selection of poems differs; the New Collectors Group edition drops four, "When Chaugnar Wakes," "Exotic Quest," "West Indies" and "Martial: The Vacationist" and adds three, "The Prophet," "Prediction" and "Walt Whitman." The collection is not to be confused with the novel of the same title by L. Sprague de Camp.
  On Reading Arthur Machen: A Sonnet.  (Penngrove, Palo Alto, CA: Dog and Duck Press, 1949). 20 copies, privately printed. Note: H. P. Lovecraft quotes Long's sonnet in full within his discussion of Arthur Machen's work in Supernatural Horror in Literature.
  The Marriage of Sir John de Mandeville John Mandeville (Roy A. Squires, 1976). 22 copies signed by the author.
