VANITAS: a journal of poetry, writings by artists, criticism, and essays. VANITAS was created as a forum for international voices with an emphasis on coming to grips with current world situations. Each issue contained writings by artists whose primary modes are non-literary and featured the work of a visual artist, who contributed text and images in a color insert, in addition to an image designed for the magazine's cover.
Contributors to previous issues include: Bruce Andrews, Mary Jo Bang, Brunella Antomarini, Louis Armand, Rae Armantrout, John Ashbery, Tim Atkins, Joshua Auerbach, Richard Bailey, Micah Ballard, Mary Jo Bang, Michael Basinski, Scott Bentley, Anselm Berrigan, Bill Berkson, Terry Berne, Charles Bernstein, Ted Berrigan, Sara Bilandzija, Helio Bittencourt, Vivien Bittencourt, Max Blagg, Lindsey Boldt, Charles Borkhuis, Daniel Bouchard, Charles Boyle, Iain Britton, Julian T.
