The introduction to the first issue of this periodical says that it "sets out to be an avenue for all those vivid and violent ideas that could reach the Public in no other way." Poems printed in this periodical include a parody of "Sumer is Icumen In" called "Ancient Music," and it also featured a bizarre play about Arghol and Hanp called Enemy of the Stars. Featuring illustrations by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Edward Wadsworth, and others, its first issue had a gaudy pink cover, while its second issue was called the "War Number" and its cover featured a geometrical woodcut by its founder. Its first issue contained an excerpt from Ford Madox Ford's The Saddest Story, which later became The Good Soldier, as well as a manifesto including a list of things to be blessed, which was highly critical of Futurism. For 10 points, name this short-lived Vorticist magazine with an explosive name, created by Wyndham Lewis.
