| | Mythical Records - surrealist literature |
 | | Automatism in Surrealism has taken a many forms, from the automatic writing and drawing initially practiced by surrealists, to similar, or perhaps parallel phenomena, such and the non-idiomatic improvisation of free jazz [1]. |
 | | To speak of the techniques of surrealist poetry is necessarily to speak of the theory behind their practice, a theory that is unique in literature because it transcends literature and art altogether and invades the domains of philosophy, psychology, and even politics. |
 | | First of all, if we adopt a surrealist viewpoint, then, as we have seen, art logically must be and naturally will tend to be surrealist, and thus be justifiable only in its ability to reveal the new, the "never seen," the parallel activity of thought and chance in consciousness. |
