About this title

Synopsis

A self-described "autobiography of the night mind", I Have Seen Monsters and Angels (transition press, 1938) is the most extensive collection of Eugene Jolas's poetic writings published in his lifetime. Moving between English, French, and German—and featuring freewheeling coinages in all three—the poems, dreams, and brief prose pieces collected here stand as the culmination of Jolas's more mystical approach to plumbing the depths of the unconscious, dreaming mind, akin to but wholly separate from his Surrealist colleagues.

Eugene Jolas (1894–1952) was a writer, editor, translator, and critic. He co-founded the influential magazine transition in 1927, where he serialized James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and, with his wife Maria, published some of the earliest translations of Franz Kafka into English. He ceased editing in 1942 to aid the war effort as a journalist and translator.
