Paul Breman

Paul Breman (Bussum, 19 July 1931 – London, 29 October 2008) was a Dutch writer, bookseller and publisher.

In the late 1950s, Breman edited two volumes of African-American poetry, together with Rosey E. Pool, that were both published in the Netherlands.

He moved in 1958 to London, where he found work as a bookseller, going on to set up an antiquarian bookshop of note with Ben Weinreb, a partnership that lasted from 1963 until 1967.

[1] In 1962, Breman started the "Heritage" series of black poets, beginning with Robert Hayden's A Ballad of Remembrance and his own anthology Sixes and Sevens.

Some of the authors later became famous, such as Mari Evans, Dolores Kendrick, Audre Lorde, Clarence Major and Ishmael Reed.
