Secession (magazine)
''Secession'' was an American expatriate little magazine edited by Gorham Munson, Matthew Josephson, and Kenneth Burke. During its two year, eight issue run, ''Secession'' managed to further the careers of writers like Waldo Frank, Slater Brown, Robert Coates, E. E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Hart Crane, and William Carlos Williams, among others. Printed in cities like Vienna, Berlin, Reutte, and Brooklyn, New York, ''Secession'' is considered an exile magazine, and has been called the “liveliest” of the little magazines published abroad.〔Rosenfeld, Alvin H. “John Wheelwright, Gorham Munson, and the ‘Wars of Secession’.” Michigan Quarterly Review 14 (1975): 13—40. MLAIB. Web. 4 Feb 2012.〕 In his article “The Interstice between Scylla and Charybdis,” Munson distinguished ''Secession'' from little magazines like ''The Little Review'' and ''Broom'', and stated that the goal for his magazine is to be “neither a personal nor an anthological magazine, but to be a group organ. () will make group-exclusions, found itself on a group basis, point itself in a group-direction, and derive its stability and correctiveness from a group.”〔Munson, Gorham. “The Interstice between Scylla and Charybdis.” Secession 2 (1922): 30—32. Print.〕 The pieces published in this magazine certainly demonstrated creative energy, but the strained relationship between ''Secession’s'' editors also contributed to the magazine’s spirited image.
==History==
In 1922, Munson, who was greatly influenced by Malcolm Cowley’s essay “This Youngest Generation,”〔Cowley, Malcolm. “This Youngest Generation.” New York Evening Post Literary Review 2 (15 October 1921): 82. Print.〕 desired to launch a little magazine. It was around this time that Munson met Matthew Josephson and Malcolm Cowley, and together, they formed ''Secession'', a little magazine that would help the Younger Generation of writers “secede” from the Middle Generation; Munson supplied the funds, Josephson the literary connection, and Cowley the intellectual stimulus.〔Munson, Gorham. “The Fledgling Years, 1916—1924.” Sewanee Review 40 (1932): 24—54. Print.〕 Taking advantage of the favorable, post- World War I exchange rate between the American dollar and European currency, Munson printed the first issue of ''Secession'' (Spring 1922) in Vienna for under $20.〔---. “How to Run a Little Magazine.” The Saturday Review of Literature, 27 March 1937. 3—4. Print.〕 In this issue, Munson stated that “beyond a two-year span, observation shows, the vitality of most reviews is lowered and their contribution, accomplished, becomes repetitious and unnecessary. ''Secession'' will take care to avoid morbidity.”
After the magazine’s second issue, Munson decided to return to America, and selected Josephson to handle ''Secession''’s European affairs as his official coeditor, and Kenneth Burke joined the team as the magazine’s third editor effective its fourth issue “in order that any disagreement might be settled by vote.” The third issue’s costs were still low, costing approximately $25 to print. The 32 page ''Secession'', which “never sold over 150 copies (though about 320 were distributed gratis)” managed to “stir up controversy,” and reviews for the magazine appeared in publications like ''The Dial'', ''The Little Review'', ''The New York Times'', and ''The Criterion''.
