Surrealist Experiences: 1001 Drawings, 221 Midnights

The collection showcases Penelope Rosemont's passionate advocacy for revolutionary ideals, love, and the poetic life through nearly two dozen essays published in surrealist journals and eleven new pieces. It intertwines critical theory with poetic humor, exposing the ideological roots of oppression such as white supremacy and sexism. Rosemont retrieves 'lost voices' and examines the influence of notable writers on surrealism while exploring themes like the revolutionary significance of fairy tales, the relationship between alchemy and anarchy, and the future of surrealism. A foreword by Rikki Ducornet adds further context.
