From the Hidden Storehouse - Selected Poems (Paperback, Trans. from the French ed.)

Luis Bunuel called Péret "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.
