Peculiar Mormyrid Journal A project of Peculiar Mormyrid Press (see other related projects). This project is believed to be defunct. (March 2023) About We are surrealists. Both elephant and fish: against the established order, our aim is the revolutionary and poetic reclassification of life itself. Through our journal, we publish to find comrades across the world who seek by new and poetic means to expand the bounds of reality, challenge the status quo, and confront the marvellous wherever and however it appears. “Poetry must be made by all, and not by one.” In solidarity with the many groups and individuals that make up the International Surrealist Movement today, we draw upon the results of previous research to insinuate ourselves into the Mad Tea Party as open and reinvigorating participants.
