The Little Review, January 1915 (Vol. 1, No. 10)

A lively snapshot of early‑twentieth‑century avant‑garde culture, this issue gathers poetry, drama, criticism and commentary from a handful of daring voices. Published in the first months of 1915, it captures the restless energy of artists wrestling with war, modernity and the search for new forms. The pages pulse with urgent verses, bold manifestos and striking visual essays that reflect a world on the brink of change.

Among the highlights, a fierce war poem by a leading American poet channels the clash of sky and steel, while an experimental three‑part drama thrusts a Berlin dining room into a tense, cubist‑tinged tableau. Essays explore the evolving roles of the artist, the tension between evolution and stagnation, and the promise of beauty amid turmoil. Listeners will hear the echo of a moment when literature, music, and visual art collided, offering a vivid sense of the cultural ferment that shaped modernism.
