PRODUCT STORY
We at ABQ may love speed and power, but we’re not entirely un-cultivated.
The Glebe (meaning a small plot of fertile land, planted to support a parish priest) was a poetry magazine created by Man Ray and Alfred Kreymborg in 1913. Their mission reflected the era’s pursuit of truth through invention; by committing each issue to the work of a single poet, Ray and Kreymborg sought to delve deep into the artist’s essence.
Contributors included James Joyce, H.D., and Ezra Pound (a true believer in the Machine Age’s power to ‘Make It New’). And yet only ten issues were ever published, due to tensions with publisher Albert Boni (who, by the way, gave us microprint).
Sadly, then, The Glebe did not live up to its name. It died on the vine during the first age of mass consumerism.
