    I give "Star-Treader" five stars because it is an obscurity
    and I am grateful when obscurities with this sort of pedigree
    are made available to me.

    The poetry is excellent. If you are a fan of Mr. Smith's stories
    you will again thrill to his mastery of the english language.
    However I must admit, I do prefer his stories. The combination
    of his poetic skill and ruthlessly provocative imagination
    are unsurpassable.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, just not what I expected.

    I think most people who stumble upon this expect some dark, morbid poetry based loosely on Smith's later stories, but it's actually a very early collection of poetry and seems like student work. The poetry is very much like most late 19th- early 20th century poetry, other than the occasional odd medieval word. One word, gyre, appears in almost every story, so I looked it up. Seems it either means a shackle or restraint, or if written as gyres, becomes a verb meaning whirls. Its an interesting word, but I didn't need to see it 50 times in a 115 page book.
