Abraxas Two – Summer Solstice 2011

Finally, it is here. Following the enormous success of the first issue, we are delighted to announce Abraxas No.2 is ready for pre-order. Substantially larger than the first issue, Abraxas No.2 offers over 200 pages of essays, poetry, interviews and art. Uniquely produced in a large high quality format, printed on a variety of papers, richly illustrated in colour and monochrome, and offering our first free audio supplement, we hope this issue of Abraxas will provoke and inspire.
