News and Special Requests

Arcadian Dreams has just published a second edition of My Love Is Like All Lovely Things: Selected Poems of E. E. Bradford. It includes additional poems, a fully revised and expanded biographical essay, and an overview of what reviewers in Bradford’s time wrote about the theme of boy love in his poetry. Available from any branch of Amazon.

The editors would be grateful to anyone who can kindly help put them in touch with Acolyte Press author Alan Edward respecting an intended literary endeavour.
