Surrealism is the desperate attempt of poetry to incarnate itself in history - Octavio Paz.
There have been and continue to be many books written 'about' Surrealism, usually in the past tense, but what we are striving for is to produce publications that are in themselves surrealist, whether through the written word, the visual image or their combination.
Surrealist Editions exists very much in the present tense.
