There is some rust staining at the staples.~~Munson's circular announcing Secession described it as "an organ for the youngest generation of American writers who are moving away from the main body of intelligent writing in the United States since 1910. They are defining a new position from which to assault the last decade and assault the next." Also described as "our Dadaist experiments.our exegesis of the Machine Age." A scarce and important platform for the interwar modernists, Secession published an extraordinary group of poets and critics.

Cumming's Four Poems; and Malcolm Cowley's Old Melodies: Love and Death. ~~Secession was short-lived. There were 8 issues of Gorham Munson's literary review. Uncommon. Very Good binding.
