Famous poet / 1899-1959. Benjamin Peret. Benjamin Péret was born at Rézé, on July 4, 1899. He was arrested for painting a town statue with a friend in 1917. He was presented with two choices: go to jail or go to war. His mother insisted on the latter, which Péret, it is said, never forgave her for. Once enlisted, he was whisked off to the Balkans.
A pivotal, pioneering personality in surrealism before and after World War II, Péret spent at least forty years of his life working with anti-state communists and anarcho-syndicalists around the world. Motivated by protests against imperialist wars in North Africa, Péret joined the French Communist Party around 1926.
