About the book

In «Ebony and Crystal: Poems in Verse and Prose,» Clark Ashton Smith masterfully intertwines lucid imagery with a vivid imagination, crafting a collection that is both a celebration of and an exploration into the realms of beauty and despair. The work is characterized by a flamboyant literary style, rich in ornate language and intricate symbolism, echoing the decadence of the Symbolist movement. Smith's unique blend of fantasy and lyricism invites readers into a multi-faceted world, where metaphysical musings and earthly concerns collide, revealing profound truths hidden beneath layers of lyrical prose. Clark Ashton Smith was not only a poet but also a sculptor and a painter, which deeply influenced his creative sensibilities. Born in 1893, his multifarious artistic pursuits and lifelong fascination with the arcane and the otherworldly shaped the contours of his literary voice. His experiences in the bohemian culture of the early 20th century California infused his work with a sense of artisanal craftsmanship, often reflecting themes of lost civilizations and the splendor of twilight worlds. «Ebony and Crystal» is a must-read for those captivated by exquisite verse and explorations of the human condition. It offers a deep dive into a world of imagination that transcends time, inviting readers to revel in the beauty of language and the haunting echoes of existence. Smith's work stands as a testament to the power of poetry to elevate the mundane into the realm of the extraordinary.
