Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion
Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion is an extremely sporadically appearing surrealist magazine published in Chicago and edited by Franklin Rosemont, though The Beat Page claims Philip Lamantia was a "contributing editor".[1] The first issue of the magazine was published in autumn 1970.[2] Four issues have appeared, the second in 1973, the third in 1976 and the fourth and most recent in 1989.[3]
Contributors to Number 3 included Jayne Cortez[4] and Philip Lamantia, a surrealist poet connected to the Beats.[5] 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."[6]
Number 4 included work by Georges Bataille, Benjamin Paul Blood, André Breton, Luis Buñuel, Leonora Carrington, Karl Marx, George Orwell, Benjamin Péret and others.[7]
