Publisher's Synopsis

This extensive and wide-ranging selection is taken from three collections of the poetry of one of France's most exciting writers of the twentieth century, the surrealist Robert Desnos. Hailed as the 'prophet' of the Surrealist movement by Andre Breton, Desnos was a hugely influential figure across all art forms at the time.
