Surrealist poets were writers associated with the Surrealist movement, which began in the early 20th century and aimed to unlock the imagination by reaching beyond ordinary logic and conscious control. Their poems often join unlikely images, dreamlike scenes, sudden shifts, and strange associations to reveal the hidden life of the mind. The movement began in France, but surrealist poetry spread well beyond French writers.
Example
A clock blooms roses in the window,
while a fish in a suit unlocks the moon;
my shadow drinks the sound of rain
and wakes up speaking in my voice.
