Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion is an extremely-sporadically appearing surrealist journal published in Chicago and edited by Franklin Rosemont, though The Beat Page claims Philip Lamantia was a "contributing editor".[1] Four issues have appeared, the second in 1973, the third in 1976 and the fourth and most recent in 1989.[2]
Contributors to Number 3 included Jayne Cortez[3] and Philip Lamantia, a surrealist poet connected to the Beats.[4] It was described as "[a] stunning, lavish, damn huge production, with essays, art, poetry and invective from just about anyone who's anyone... [a]ngry, uncompromising and provocative," with "[m]ind blowing perspectives on just about everything."[5]
Number 4 included work by Georges Bataille, Benjamin Paul Blood, Andre Breton, Luis Bunuel, Leonora Carrington, Karl Marx, George Orwell, Benjamin Peret and others.[6]
