News Boys Art and Entertainment LGBT+ RSOL Politics Science, Technology, Health Current events Deaths New anthology of major BL poet by Staff Writer - May, 2023 A New anthology of boylove poetry was released in the spring of 2023 called, "My Love Is Like All Lovely Things". It is a collection of the works of the British poet and clergyman Edwin Emmanuel Bradford. Bradford who is classified as being one of the Uranian poets, a small and clandestine group of male poets who published works between 1858 and 1930. This new anthology compiled by the author C. Caunter of Bradford's poetry includes an exhaustive analysis of his life and work and addresses such questions as, "how his boylove poetry could have been received so favorably in early-20th-century Britain." Through his words, Bradford demonstrates the enduring joy of the love between boys and men and advocated its legitimacy in a time still partially in the grips of Victorianism. Included also in this new paperback are wonderful illustrations that help bring the reader in to the context of that era. As a Uranian poet, Bradford brought a mixture of both classical and contemporary elements into his work, as well as a certain playfulness, which can be seen in the following excerpt: Paddy Maloy by E.E. Bradford O Paddy Maloy is a broth of a boy,      As pretty as pretty can be; He tosses his curls in disdain at the girls,      For not one is so pretty as he. Enter the world of Boylove in the early 20th century through the testament of Bradford's love for boys and their ephemeral beauty, transported in time by the images his words invoke. His prose are still as relevant and inspiring today as they were 100 years ago, showing that the love of boys prevails throughout the ages. My Love Is Like All Lovely Things: Selected Poems of E. E.
