[edit]The Plumed Horn (or El Corno Emplumado as it is known in Spanish) is a bilingual Beat poetry magazine that was released quarterly between the years 1962-1969. Based out of Mexico City, and published in both English and Spanish, it circulated throughout Mexico, the US, and other Latin American countries.
The magazine was launched in 1962 by the North American poet and activist, Margaret Randall and her husband, Mexican journalist and poet, Sergio Mondragón. (North American Beat poet, Harvey Wolin was also an editor, but he left the project soon after the second edition was published.) The editors’ purpose in creating the magazine was to transcend national and political boundaries--to unite writers and readers alike across North and South America in a sense of brotherhood.
The Plumed Horn featured poetry and essays created by a variety of writers from around the globe, with a special emphasis on North American and Latin American poets. It published the work of poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Homero Ardijis, Miguel Grinbenrg, Raquel Jodorowsky and Gonzalo Arango.
The Plumed Horn went out of circulation when it was shut down in 1969 because the editors openly criticized the Mexican Government for the Tlatelolco Massacre.
