The first half-dozen issues of a little magazine in French and English, the respective sections being edited by Marcel Bisiaux and Sindbad Vail he the son of 'King of Bohemia', Laurence Vail, and Peggy Guggenheim. The magazine was intended as an organ for untested authors from both sides of the Channel (and Atlantic). Michael Hamburger, Herbert Gold (here, 'Herb' and the winner of the magazine's short story competition, his entry printed in the fourth number), Christopher Middleton and David Gascoyne all contribute early work, alongside the editors and more established domestic figures such as Philippe Soupault and André Dhôtel. Amongst the other contributors, one finds: the later film director, Elliot Silverstein; Genet's translator into English, Bernard Frechtman; and E.E. Cummings' translator into French, D. Jon Grossman, whose 'Ars Poetica: The Twentieth Century' is a savage and entertaining parody of the work of both Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, going on to Amy Lowell, Robert Frost, Cummings, MacLeish, Wallace Stevens et al.
