This book collects together the two most vital "automatic" texts of Surrealism -- The Magnetic Fields (1919) and The Immaculate Conception (1930) -- with Breton's prefatory essay "The Automatic Message" which relates this technique to the underlying concepts and aesthetic of the Surrealist movement.

    The poems range from visionary apocalypse to a lyrical fusion with nature.By turns nightmarish, erotic, hermetic, they create an astonishing world charged by Lamantia’s energy and imagination.

    Joined by a band of Smoo's finest (and funniest) heroes, Akiko treks across the planet facing terrors and adventures that will thrill, amaze and enchant readers of all ages! This book contains the first 7 issues of the monthly AKIKO comic book series by Mark Crilley.
