Scope and Contents

This is an anti-surrealistic poem. According to Peter Ellis, bookseller, Geoffrey Wladyslaw Vaile Potocko de Montalk (1903-1996) was one of the most eccentric and flamboyant characters on the British literary scene. Although primarily a poet, he had a flourishing sideline in invective and controversy and even spent time in prison for publishing obscene material (mild pornography that was never published). His political views were far to the right and he never tired of repeating that the wrong side had won WW II. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
