Poet and publisher of Aquarius poetry magazine

By Fiona Green

Eddie Linden aka Sean Glacken Quinn, aged 75, is almost as famous as Soho itself. He is a small Irish scotsman who - without much money - has, for over 40 years, published Aquarius, a poetry quarterly. This, plus giving recitals of his work & promoting other writers, has put him firmly on the literary map for all time.He has been celebrated by Sebastian Barker in his work "Who Is Eddie Linden?"   & by a festschrift to him,"Eddie's Own Aquarius"  which has contributions from most of the heavyweights of 20th century literature. He is an old family friend.
