Philippe Soupault (1897–1990) was a prolific novelist and essayist. Founder of the review Littérature in 1919 (with André Breton and Louis Aragon), he was active in French Dada and a central figure of Surrealism in its early years, though eventually drifted away from the movement. His principal collections of poetry were published in a single volume by Grasset in 1973.

Andrew Zawacki’s latest poetry volume is Videotape (Counterpath, 2013). Conjunctions’ 2008 publication of his translation from Sébastien Smirou’s My Lorenzo 3: The Tournament appeared from Burning Deck in 2012. His 2015 publication of Smirou’s “The Dodo” is one of eight chapters from See About, which has been supported by an NEA translation fellowship and will appear in 2016 from La Presse.
