Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Luis Bunuel called Peret "the quintessential surrealist poet." Benjamin Peret is a poet like no other. One of the original group of Surrealists, he seceded from Dada in 1924 and remained faithful to Surrealist principles until his death in 1959. His irreverence and incandescent imagination remain fresh and funny, and they are perfectly captured in this inspired, idomatic translation.

Biografía del autor

BENJAMINE PERET is a poet like no other. One of the original group of Surrealists, he seceded from Dada in 1924 (with his friends Breton, Aragon, and Soupault), and remained faithful to Surrealist principles until his death in 1959. His irreverence and incandescent imagination remain fresh and funny, and they are perfectly captured in this inspired, idiomatic translation. From the Hidden Storehouse represents the enormous range of Peret's career in generous selections from his five best books, published between 1928 and 1947. This first book-length American translation of Peret includes an introduction by the distinguished poet and translator Charles Simic
