Abraxas Unbound

 

Philosophy   Literature   Ideas 

Founded November 1991, Abraxas Unbound has ceased publishing. Originally called Abraxas, the first nineteen issues went out under that name, but issue twenty was renamed Abraxas Unbound to distinguish its large-size book format; so was issue twenty-one that followed, the last or Omega edition.
 
For those interested in obtaining back copies, it was a literary magazine that incorporated The Colin Wilson Newsletter, bringing together poetry and fiction, philosophy and metaphysics. On the philosophy side, it published essays by Colin Wilson on Jacques Derrida, Alfred North Whitehead, Edmund Husserl and the Austrian novelist Robert Musil.
 
On the literary front it featured translations of stories from Pablo Palacio, Jose de 
Cuadre and poems from D.M. Thomas and Zofia Ilinska. Articles have varied, from 
a penetrating study of criminal messiahs to the virtues of Herod and the angel craze 
sweeping America. Furthermore there are book reviews, readers' comments and artwork.
 
In the final phase, the format of Abraxas changed from an A4 magazine to a Crown Quarto book of around 200 pages, renamed ABRAXAS UNBOUND. There were two issues in this format that were printed, and the magazine was officially closed in January 2009. The early issues of Abraxas are listed on the Back Numbers page.
