T he poem "Curtain Curtain" convinced me Breton was one of the most imaginative poetic genuises of our time. This book is a fantastic look at the ideas of the man behind the poems, including insights into the artists in his circles. Reading the interviews, the biggest revelation I had was that his mind was so logical, rationaql, and so adept at applying reason, that he had to 'invent' surrealism to balance himself and make himself whole.
