Ultra was an avant-garde bilingual art and literature magazine which appeared in Finland in 1922. Its subtitle was tidskrift för ny konst och litteratur (Swedish: Magazine for New Art and Literature).[1] Although it produced only eight issues, it played a significant role in the introduction of avant-garde literary approach in the region.[2]
History and profile
Ultra was launched by Elmer Diktonius in September 1922.[2] It was published by a small company named Daimon and was edited by Hagar Olsson.[3] The company was founded and run by the Finnisg poet L. A. Salava.[2][3] In the first four issue Raul af Hällström also served as the editor.[4] The magazine had a Finnish edition which was edited by Lauri Haarla and a Swedish edition.[2] In fact, Finnish-language material was dominant in the magazine which contained two-thirds of its content.[5] It featured essays on literature, music, theater, art, and poetry.[3] Major contributors included Eino Palola, Edith Södergran, Ormi Arp, Gunnar Björling, Rabbe Enckell, Uuno Kailas, Viljo Kojo, Katri Vala, and artist Uuno Eskola.[3] Elmer Diktonius also published articles in Ultra criticizing nationalist and narrow approaches in modern poetry.[6] To this end he tried to develop collaborations with international writers for the magazine, but his efforts were not fruitful.[6]
The magazine ceased publication in December 1922 following its eighth issue.[2] Ultra was succeeded by Quosego magazine which existed between 1928 and 1929.[2]
