Rêvenance: A  Zine of Hauntings From Underground Histories, No. 8

  

Edited by Olchar E. Lindsann

Rêvenance is the flagship journal of the Revenant Editions series, dedicated to the forgotten or untold histories of 19th Century avant-garde and other countercultures. It includes essays, translations, and many experimental forms of historical writing and research that connect those traditions to continuing radical communities today.

 

This issue contains more recent and more early work than any yet, with a Dada review by Louis Aragon & Dada poetry by Tristan Tzara & Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes; Russian Futurist poetry by Aleksei Kruchyonykh and Vasilisk Gnedov, an anti-survey of mid-20th Century underground poetry by Jim Leftwich, and contemporary “revenant collaborations” between living and dead poets including Michael Dec, Volodymyr Bilyk, Dirk Vekemans, Retorico Unentesi, Olchar Lindsann, Nina de Callias, & more, an essay by John Wilkins on Con-Lang from 1668, texts by Gérard de Nerval on his stay in prison and his Louis Bouanger's lithograph of Paganini in prison, skeletal drawings & texts by Moloch and the feminist romantic Anaïs Ségalas, and an 1834 avant-garde attempt at comparative religion.
