SurVision published a biannual magazine of the same name, containing surrealist poetry, including translations from other languages. The magazine has been noted for the range of its contributors, who have included both established and new writers from Ireland and other parts of the world. The Dublin Review of Books has called it "currently the only international magazine devoted exclusively to surrealist poetry."Tim Murphy, [https://www.drb.ie/essays/on-the-waves-of-the-surreal On the Waves of the Surreal], Dublin Review of Books, 1 April 2019.

The Munich-based German-language Signaturen Magazine announced that they will be publishing German translations of the best poems from SurVision.{{cite web|url=http://signaturen-magazin.de/interview-anatoly-kudryavitsky-engl..html|title=Interview Anatoly Kudryavitsky engl. - Signaturen|first=Kristian E.|last=Kühn|date=|website=signaturen-magazin.de|accessdate=2 February 2018}} In an interview with Signaturen, Anatoly Kudryavitsky described the magazine's editorial policy:

{{blockquote|At SurVision, we appreciate rich language and honed poetic skills. We have a soft spot for poetic experiments, but we believe that such an experiment has to be successful in order to beget publishable texts. The reader will probably notice that we prefer poems that create distinct visual images to abstract Surrealist poems.}}

In 2018, John W. Sexton's poem "The Snails" which appeared in SurVision magazine was shortlisted for An Post's Irish Poem of the Year.[https://www.anpost.com/Media-Centre/News/Shortlist-unveiled-for-the-An-Post-Irish-Book-Awar Shortlist unveiled for the An Post Irish Book Awards 2018], An Post, 25 October 2018.

In July 2024, the editors announced on their website that "after eight successful years and the publication of 15 issues, the editors of SurVision felt that the magazine had come to a natural end of its time as a poetry periodical. However, the SurVision website will continue to display all the materials published from January 2017 until July 2024. SurVision will go on as a book-publishing outlet."

Since 2018, SurVision has awarded the annual James Tate International Poetry prize for the most favoured collection of surrealist poems. So far, the prize has always been shared between two or more poets. The prize was named in honour of the writer and poet James Tate.[http://www.survisionmagazine.com/jamestateprize.htm James Tate Prize],SurVision.
