Editorial Reviews

Review
"Mark Polizzotti, who is a poet, a translator, and the author of the definitive biography of Andre Breton, has chosen stellar translations of Breton's dazzling poetry and placed it in its lively context. This shapely introduction to the life and work of Andre Breton is smart, concise, and exciting. I cannot imagine a better one."

Product Description
Founder of the Surrealist movement, Andre Breton has also come to be recognized as one of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential poets. The inaugural volume in the Poets for the Millennium series, Andre Breton offers the most comprehensive selection available in English of Breton's poetry, along with a selection of his major prose writings. The translations, a number of which are published here for the first time, are by some of the most notable poets in our language, including David Antin, Paul Auster, Samuel Beckett, Michael Benedikt, Robert Duncan, David Gascoyne, and Charles Simic. This volume also includes an extensive biographical and thematic introduction by Mark Polizzotti, which sets the poems in the context of Breton's life and overall career.

By A Customer
wow! this is a superb collection of poetry and prose by the leader of the surrealist movement,everyones favorite Parisian(aside from Apollinaire)Andre Breton.this collection displays some simplly beautiful and hallucinatory writing.i think my favorite(which is hard to decide)is "choose life",a wonderful piece that cant help but inpire subjectivity and adveture.the intro is quite long but very well writen and extremely useful if you dont know that much about Breton and the surrealists.get it today! it kicks ass!
