Autorenporträt
From his earliest years as a poet and an editor, James Mitchell has demonstrated a great commitment to under- served writers. In the late 1960s, after years of graduate work, Jim rode into San Francisco for the Summer of Love and immediately ran into Bruce Boone, sealing his fate as a key figure in the micro-ecology of gay publishing that was then beginning to emerge. Today, Jim continues to show this commitment through Ithuriel's Spear, which has published dozens of books by local writers, including reissues of Bruce Boone's MY WALK WITH BOB (2006) and Robert Glück's ELEMENTS (2013). Yulie Lou was Chair of the Philosophy Department at Beijing University.
