Parabola Dreams by Alan Britt & Silvia Scheibli ($16.00)Īlan Britt's interview at The Library of Congress for The Poet and the Poem () aired on Pacifica Radio in January 2013. excerpted from Albert Frank Morritz's Introduction to Children of the Quadrilateral This attitude is equally arrogant to the miserable people who in their hunger for life create strange patchworks of truth and error, and to the genuine seer like Péret who stands in the light of actual nature and actual humanity, surreality and the marvelous, which somehow continue to exist elsewhere with a vitality which rebukes us. He has deduced the laws of this artificial and perverse construction, and whatever does not obey them he scorns as magic or "miracle," the illusions of the backward. Man has created a thing he regards as nature which is unnatural, and a thing he calls reality which is unreal. Péret sees that by man's decision to limit himself, and by man's institutionalization of smallness and dullness in society and tradition, the world has been narrowed and deformed.
