AMBIT – the foremost organ of the lucid orgasm party

Covers 2000–2005

AMBIT – JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!
In 1959 a London Paediatrician, Dr Martin Bax, diagnosed Angst and Ennui as the prevailing mood. He prescribed AMBIT: poetry, fiction and art – sometimes shocking, sometimes erotic, sometimes comic, always compelling – plus a small dose of unstuffy poetry reviews.

THE AMBIT CONSULTANTS
Over the years, from small beginnings, the team has come together. Edwin Brock was joined by Carol Ann Duffy and Henry Graham to pick the poetry, and JG Ballard was joined by Geoff Nicholson to pick the prose. Mike Foreman tracks down the pictures while designer John Morgan makes sure that Ambit retains its reputation for visual seduction.

AMBIT TODAY
Now sponsored by Arts England, and as ever a non-profit making magazine, Ambit is still going strong after more than 40 years of publishing.
