Surrealist, Lover, Resistant

The book features nearly 300 poems by Robert Desnos, a pivotal figure in the Surrealist movement, celebrated by André Breton as its 'prophet.' This selection draws from three of his collections, showcasing the breadth of his influence across various art forms during the twentieth century. Despite his significance, Desnos' work remains largely underrepresented in English, and this volume aims to bring his remarkable poetry to a wider audience.
