Action: Cahiers de philosophie et d'art. Ed. Pierre Reverdy.
Year 2, Undated (1921). Stock: Paris. Softcover Octavo, 64 pp. +16 pp
wrappers w/adverts for cubist, dada, expressionist & other
avant-garde journals.
The avant-garde journal Action brought together the recently-established poets associated with literary Cubism and the slightly younger, not-yet established writers of Paris Dada. Edited by the prose-poet Pierre Reverdy, Action contains experimental literature and graphic art, and essays on radical politics, a strong interest in hermeticism and the occult. There are many reviews of avant-garde writing, including criticism by and/or about Tzara, Eluard, Artaud, and many others. The wrappers include adverts for dozens of avant-garde journals around the world, a fascinating snapshot of the experimental publishing network of the time.
