Poems, Essays, and Other Writings (The Collected Writings of Michael Juste)

This is an unusual and fascinating compendium of verse, prose, and drama; the writings in this collection are mystical, insightful, and (at times) downright fantastical. Included are Juste's three books of poetry, an original play, and many other interesting works that, until now, have been largely unavailable, scattered as they are throughout long-forgotten journals from the early- to mid-twentieth century.

The Collected Writings of Michael Juste includes the definitive editions of all the author’s published works, now printed for the first time in two uniform volumes.

Michael Juste was a pseudonym of Michael Houghton (1897-1961)--author; poet; playwright; founder of the Atlantis Bookshop in London; and editor of the Occult Observer, a short-lived quarterly journal that sought to provide its readers with a "clearer understanding of the deeper purposes of man and the cosmos"--which description is apt indeed regarding Juste's own writings: whether on politics, art, poetry, psychology, occultism, mysticism, or something else . . . entirely more fantastic. . . .
