    1. And "authorities" who claim to know the difference
      between DADA and SURREALISM
      bore me to tears

  2. I have a slender volume of his "best" but I don't think this is in it. If it isn't (my mind is mush) it should be. I also have his even thinner Nadja. A must read no matter your school, team, movement, etc.

    1. I got the poem from a PARIS REVIEW email.
      Since you recommend Nadja so highly,
      I'll give the book a glance, however, my reading list
      is a solid dozen with some some books
      still unpackaged + an essay collection
      from Margaret Atwood, en route from
      Long Beach Public Library.

      The book I'll recommend for YOU
      (knowing your reading preferences)
      is Jose Saramago's CAIN
