ankh_hplDevotees of the richly scented verse of Clark Ashton Smith -- or any fan of the well-crafted weird -- will be happy to learn that a new anthology of poetry inspired by CAS & George Sterling is available now from Australia's P'rea Press.
Avatars of Wizardry (ed. by Charles Lovecraft, with foreword by S.T. Joshi ) includes both Sterling's "A Wine of Wizardry" and Smith's "The Hashish-Eater," but also offers contemporary responses to these works by Richard L. Tierney, Leigh Blackmore, Alan Gullette, Bruce Boston, Earl Livings, Wade German, Michael Fantina, & Kyla Lee Ward.
I was fortunate enough to read this anthology earlier this year. This is definitely one for the long winter nights -- filled with substantial, deeply strange, often hallucinatory poems which take the time they need to deliver their impact.
