## Description

Pagan Press, established in 1982, is a dedicated publisher focusing on works that engage the intelligent gay male readership. With a commitment to celebrating Western Classical Antiquity, Pagan Press began its journey by reviving significant literary contributions, starting with Edward Carpenter's anthology "Ioläus," which explored themes of romantic friendship. This was quickly followed by John Addington Symonds' influential work, "Male Love: A Problem in Greek Ethics and Other Writings," marking a centennial commemoration of its original publication.

Despite its size, Pagan Press has made a notable impact in the niche of LGBTQ+ literature, producing recognized titles like "Death Rush: Poppers & AIDS," which raised awareness about health risks in the community. Offering nine carefully curated titles, Pagan Press ensures high-quality print production on acid-free paper, available for direct purchase or through Amazon. Their works have garnered positive reviews, with some achieving bestseller status, showcasing the press's dedication to enriching gay literature and advocacy.
