"He was one of the founders of the Carmel art colony and the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club. On July 16 1908 Sterling was toastmaster for thirty-two members of the club for the first annual breakfast held at the clubhouse. When a firestorm of controversy followed Sterling's publication of A Wine of Wizardry in the Cosmopolitan magazine of September 1907 other rebels flocked to Carmel including Upton Sinclair and the MacGowan sisters. The death by poison of the young poet Nora May French in Sterling's home drew national press coverage. The suicide of Sterling's wife by cyanide only added fuel to the flames. Sterling's own diaries and correspondence reveal a more sedate but still Bohemian community. He often volunteered at Carmel's Forest Theater and once played a starring role in Mary Austin's play The Fire. " from Wikipedia " the publication of George Sterling's epic poem "A Wine of Wizardry" which first appeared in the Cosmopolitan magazine in September 1907. The poem stirred a reaction that rippled back and forth across the continent thrusting Sterling into a cultural firestorm fueled by the vitriol of his mentor Ambrose Bierce. Critics from everywhere weighed in and for a brief moment San Francisco and Sterling assumed center stage in a nationwide cause celebre. Sterling - the colorful scion of a Long Island whaling family who had come west in 1890 to work as a secretary in his uncle's East Bay real estate firm - was then in his mid-30s handsome athletic and rakish. He was also Jack London's best friend. By World War I he would be known as the King of Bohemia and the poet laureate of San Francisco but by 1907 he had published only one short albeit accomplished volume of poetry "The Testimony of the Suns" 1903 and a scattering of poems primarily in local newspapers and lesser-known literary journals." George Sterling's 'Wine of Wizardry' sparked a clash of critics Geoffrey Dunn Dec 23 2007 . A. M. Robertson hardcover
