In the aftermath
there was not
one coherent line
No addition
no subtraction
The habitual
contest of numbers
cancelled
Arithmetic
without hope
of reprise
Algebra and
geometry only
smothering
memories
Hardly leaving
enough functional
bombs
To count
the stars

Editor's Statement
The year 2014 brings the 100th anniversary of the founding of Vorticism, a short-lived and militant English art and literary movement that defiantly rejected the popular conventions of the day.
Numbering writers, painters, printmakers, sculptors and photographers among its flock, Vorticism demanded the destruction of “civilized” vision to unleash the unconscious genius inherent in every individual.
The pages of the magazine Blast exemplified the movement’s brash assault on the staid sensibilities of the times with bold typography, biting humor and a blanket refusal to conform to academic standards or popular scripture.
Vorticism demanded the liberation of the artist from the suffocating burdens of an imperial and militaristic age. A few days after the publication of the first issue of Blast, Vorticism was overwhelmed by the opening of the larger art and literary event known to us as World War One.
This publication commemorates the 100th anniversary of the publication of Blast and celebrates the Vorticist manifesto.
