The Re-Marriage of Poem and Spell

Some inspiration for The Art of Spell-Casting

Dear Readers,

Enjoy this audio of one of my favorite poems “Free Union” by André Breton while I prepare the next post in The Art of Spell-Casting series that I’m beginning for paid subscribers. When I read it, poem and spell become one again. I’m not going to break down why because that would just ruin the enchantment.

I mentioned it in the introduction to the series which can be found here:

Introduction to the Art of Spell-Casting

“Free Union” by André Breton, translated by David Antin, read by Jen Lighty:

André Breton, Portrait d'André Breton aux lunettes, entre 1924 et 1929, 16,8 x 21,7 cm, épreuve gélatino-argentique, photomaton. Paris, musée national d'Art moderne.
