Book Surrealist poetry foundation

Surrealist Poetry presents new English translations of nearly 150 poems alongside their original French and Spanish versions Founded by Andr Breton in 1924 Surrealism sought to examine the unconscious realm by means of the written or spoken word Seeking to expand the ability of language to evoke irrational states and improbable events it consistently strove to transcend the linguistic status quo By stretching language to its limits and beyond the Surrealists transformed it into an instrument for exploring the human psyche The twenty three poets in this collection come not only from France where Surrealism was invented but also from Spain Belgium Martinique Mauritius Catalonia Mexico Chile and Peru Three of them were awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature Vicente Aleixandre Pablo Neruda and Octavio Paz Equipped with a critical introduction and a brief bibliography this anthology will appeal to anyone interested in modern literature Surrealist Poetry An AnthologyI had always dabbled in writing that mixed my intellectual consciousness with my instinct and sometimes emotions Reading this book has fueled my passion Surrealist Poetry An Anthology Andre Breton which at times is brilliant I m impressed by the anthology itself I can only speak of the poets that I m well read on but the poems selected for each poet mostly highlight them at their best Most of the poems from Pablo Neruda are from Residence on Earth II which honestly is so validating because Residence II is absolutely without doubt is his best work fuck 20 love poems a and song of despair all my homies hate it Poet in New York is where a lot of the Lorca poems were chosen which honestly is fair given it is a surrealist anthology after all The poems selected for Louis Aragon are brilliant Anyway I can go on forever but I m starting to be aware of how long this silly review is so alas Surrealist Poetry An Anthology
