"A collection of all the poems Wandrei wished to preserve, taken largely from his earlier collections, ECSTASY AND OTHER POEMS and DARK ODYSSEY (1931). Each poem in the sonnet cycle 'Sonnets of the Midnight Hours' (composed around 1927) was inspired by a dream of Wandrei's. The influence of Clark Ashton Smith (with whom Wandrei had come in contact as early as 1924) is evident." - Joshi, Arkham 74.
