A Wine of Wizardry and Other Poems is a lush, myth-infused journey through dream and danger. This 1909 collection by George Sterling invites readers into a world where mountains glow like wine, seas whisper in arcane voices, and the spirit of Bohemia meets the needle of fate. Expect richly imagined landscapes, ritual theater, and poems that fuse romance, fantasy, and a striking sense of place from Sterling’s California inspiration.
In these pages you’ll encounter poems that swing between intimate mood and grand spectacle, from intimate odes to beloved muses to epic visions of wizardry, magic, and ruin. The book blends classical motifs with a daring, modern sensibility, creating a voice that is at once ceremonial and intimate. The result is a work that feels both timeless and unmistakably early 20th‑century Bohemian.
- Immersive, mythic imagery that evokes temples, seas, and moonlit gardens
- Dense, music‑like language crafted for readers who enjoy poetic daring
- A broad sequence of moods, from romance and elegy to supernatural wonder
- A window into the sensibilities of the Bohemian era and Sterling’s distinctive style
Ideal for readers who love lush, atmospheric poetry and the romance of early modern verse.
