I have been a fan of de la Mare's since I first read "The Listeners" in grade school. I wrote about Memoirs of a Midget when it was reissued by Paul Dry Books some years ago (but the article seems no longer available online). His poem "Ghost"  I gather is where Scott-Moncrieff got his title for the sixth volume of Proust's novel. This article has a nice selection of his poems.
