A legendary figure within the Surrealist movement, Robert Desnos
(1900-1945) has left a unique legacy as a poet of distinction, as a
'dormeur eveille revered by his fellow Surrealists, and as a free
spirit par excellence. In celebrating Denos's unique creative
voice, this book re-evaluates his prominence within and beyond the
Surrealist movement, reappraises his status as a poet, and sheds
new light on his contribution to the literary and cultural life of
his age. The essays in the volume reflect the ongoing vitality and
relevance of Desnos's poetry and the originality of his
contribution to the various other forms of expression in which he
excelled: Journalism, short stories, script-writing and
song-writing. Desnos's extensive writings on art and artists, his
active involvement in avant-garde film and his close associations
with a number of renowned painters are also addressed. This fresh
look at Denos's activities and contexts includes an interview with
the artist Georges Malkine's daughter, Fern Malkine-Falvey, and a
study of the memoirs of Desnos's wife, Youki. The volume closes
with a rare collection of journalistic writings by Desnos which
appeared in Le Soir in the late 1920s and have never appeared in
print since their original publication.
