A thick chapbook representing the first English-language collection of the seminal avant-garde collective (c.1830-35) that inspired Lautréamont, Dada, Surrealism, and the Situationists. Including poetry and art by fifteen members, biographies of nearly twenty, and more. This is an appetizer for a larger, perfect-bound anthology to be published several years farther on.

With samplings of writing and art by Pétrus Borel, Philothée O’Neddy, Gérard de Nerval,  Jehan Du Seigneur, Théophile Gautier, Louis Boulanger, Augustus Mac-Keat, Célestin Nanteuil, Joseph Bouchardy, Alphonse Brot, Achille & Eugène Devéria, Alphonse Esquiros, Napoleon Thom, and Pierre-Roche Vigneron.
