Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion
Arsenal/Surrealist Subversion is an extremely sporadically appearing surrealist magazine published in Chicago[1] and edited by Franklin Rosemont, though The Beat Page claims Philip Lamantia was a "contributing editor".[2] The first issue of the magazine was published in October 1970.[1][3] Four issues have appeared, the second in 1973, the third in 1976 and the fourth and most recent in 1989.[4] The publisher of the first three issues was Black Swan Press.[1][5]
Contributors to Number 3 included Jayne Cortez[6] and Philip Lamantia, a surrealist poet connected to the Beats.[7] 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."[8]
Number 4 included work by Georges Bataille, Benjamin Paul Blood, André Breton, Luis Buñuel, Leonora Carrington, Karl Marx, George Orwell, Benjamin Péret and others.[9]
