Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Poetry readers and fantasy connoisseurs the world over have
treasured "A Wine of Wizardry" and "The Hashish-Eater" for almost a
century. Written by George Sterling in 1904 and Clark Ashton Smith
in 1920 respectively, these poems have been the supporting lintel
and threshold to a fantastic doorway of the imagination for
generations of enthralled readers. Now at last there is a
contemporary response to these masterworks from poets as diverse
and distinguished as Richard L. Tierney, Bruce Boston, Alan
Gullette, Leigh Blackmore, Michael Fantina, Wade German, Earl
Livings, and Kyla Lee Ward. Their magnificent poems evoke the
enduring, timeless qualities of Sterling's and Smith's masterpieces
and rework the spell to enthral a new generation. "We seem to be in
the midst of a renaissance of fantastic poetry, as the present
volume attests. The poets in this book have found in their work the
inspiration to weave a tapestry of weirdness that stands as a
substantial contribution to the fantastic verse of our own time.
Connoisseurs of poetry know what aesthetic pleasures are in store
for them when they read vivid, meticulously crafted work such as is
contained in this book." S. T. Joshi (author Supernatural
Literature of the World, I Am Providence, H. P. Lovecraft: A
Comprehensive Bibliography) "Inspired by George Sterling and Clark
Ashton Smith, yet fueled by the twenty-first century talents of
celebrated poets from both hemispheres, this collection of vintages
has something for every rarefied taste. From hashish dreams to
psychic expeditions through deep space-time, here are experiences
not to be found elsewhere. Sip slowly, and revel in the flight."
Ann K. Schwader (author Twisted in Dream, In the Yaddith Time, Wild
Hunt of the Stars) "A feast of fantastic verse, a special delight
for Klarkash-tonians who need no further reassurance that the
stately, cosmic tradition represented by such masterpieces as 'The
Star-Treader' and 'The Hashish-Eater' is alive and well." Darrell
Schweitzer (author Pathways to Elfland, Windows of the Imagination,
Exploring Fantasy Worlds)
