The Hill of Dreams is a semi-autobiographical novel by the Welsh writer Arthur Machen. The novel recounts the life of a young man, Lucian Taylor, focusing on his dreamy childhood in rural Wales, in a town based on Caerleon. The Hill of Dreams of the title is an old Roman fort where Lucian has strange sensual visions, including ones of the town in the time of Roman Britain. Later, the novel describes Lucian's attempts to make a living as an author in London, enduring poverty and suffering in the pursuit of art and history. The Hill of Dreams was little noticed on its publication in 1907 save in a glowing review by Alfred Douglas. It was actually written between 1895 and 1897 and has elements of the style of the decadent and aesthetic movement of the period, seen through Machen's own mystical preoccupations. (wikipedia.org)

My first collision with fame was hardly memorable. I was a busboy at Marx's Deli. The year was 1934. The place was Third and Hill, Los Angeles. I was twenty-one years old, living in a world bounded on the west by Bunker Hill, on the east by Los Angeles Street, on the south by Pershing Square, and on the north by Civic Center. I was a busboy nonpareil, with great verve and style for the profession, and though I was dreadfully underpaid (one dollar a day plus meals) I attracted considerable attention as I whirled from table to table, balancing a tray on one hand, and eliciting smiles from my customers. I had something else beside a waiter's skill to offer my patrons, for I was also a writer.

Lovers of poetry! You are going to love William Sharp! A Scottish writer of poetry, the tone of Sharp's poems is what you'd describe as soulful, tender, nostalgic and just a little tragic. This anthology is a collection of Sharp's greatest poems, including the ones written under his (almost secret), pseudonym Fiona Macleod. William was not just a poet, he also edited the works of other greats like Walter Scott, Matthew Arnold and Ossian. A neo-pagan, and part of the secret society The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he believed that neo-paganism would usher in a period of gender equality. Sharp is not your conventional poet. The depth and emotion in his works will show this to you. When you read this anthology, you'll be reading from the mind of a poet who felt deeply and wrote passionately. This collection is a delight for any lover of Celtic poetry, and a worthy discovery for any reader.
