Summary

Poetry. Surrealist Poetry. THE SANDS OF DREAM is the first English translation of Therese Renaud's earliest book, considered by some to be the first truly Surrealist collection published in Canada. In the mid-forties, Therese Renaud was part of a group of young painters, writers, and dancers in Montreal who were called les automatistes. Their 1948 manifesto, Refus global, is no doubt the most important avant-garde text of its kind published in Canada. In 1946, at nineteen years of age and before she left Montreal for Paris, she wrote a series of poems in the Surrealist tradition of automatic writing, of which a selection were published in a chapbook entitled "Les sables du reve," illustrated with drawings in the automatist spirit by her friend, Jean-Paul Mousseau.
