These poems are of an unearthly beauty. They celebrate love,
beauty, and humanity; and yet throughout many of them is a
consciousness of impending apocalypse. The imagery, lush, exotic,
full of colors and magic names, is a welcome relief from the
sterile, prosaic poetry of today. If you enjoy tripping on
language, this book is for you. Whether the poems really are from
the Atlantean or whether they are the creations of poet
Sidney-Fryer, they deserve to be read and experienced. -- Charles
K. Wolfe Sidney-Fryer is, in a very strong sense, a traditionalist;
his creations, superlatively original as they are, yet give us a
powerful feeling of continuity with our own past and culture; they
make us see ... the ideals that moved us when we were less "secure"
and more human: adventure, love of life, and above all, the
intricate beauty of a world long vanished - yet not vanished, if
only we had eyes to see. -- Richard L. Tierney Sidney-Fryer has
created, in his fictional Atlantis, an entire civilization and a
body of absorbing literature. The book should appeal to lovers of
poetry, to devotees of science fiction, and to those who admire
writers who can fashion a realistic world from the materials of
mythology and speculation. -- Earl J. Dias Mr. Fryer is a profound
student of Clark Ashton Smith, and the influence shows, but he is
very much his own poet, and he structures and plays with a surety
and deftness which is remarkable. -- Gahan Wilson A delightful book
of verse - purportedly fragments of poetry from the lost Empire of
Atlantis - that is very much in the tradition of Spenser's Faerie
Queene. A work that reflects a glittering imagination and no mean
talent. -- James Gorski
