Soliloquy for Pan
second printing
Louder than all trumpets sounds his voice alone, and at that sound fall helm and sword, the charioteer from his rocking car and bolts from gates of walls by night; nor might the helm of Mars and the tresses of the Furiai, nor the dismal Gorgon from on high spread such terror, nor with phantoms so dire sweep an army in headlong rout.
- Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica (C1st A.D.)
The summer of 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the publication of one of our most celebrated and sought-after publications, SOLILOQUY FOR PAN, which featured a mammoth array of fiction, essays and poetry along with lesser-known archive material, in praise, in awe, in fear of the goat god. The book, and its second printing later that year, sold out within weeks.
To mark the anniversary, we have published a new edition of said volume, featuring all of the original contents, reproofed, along with a different cover and endpapers, some fresh illustrations within, and a brand new, specially written story by the great Benjamin Tweddell.
