Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War (1913-1916) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A fully annotated, bilingual edition, Calligrammes is a key work not only in Apollinaire’s own development but also in the evolution of modern French poetry. Apollinaire―Roman by birth, Polish by name (Wilhelm-Apollinaris de Kostrowitski), Parisian by choice―died at thirty-eight in 1918. Nevertheless, he became one of the leading figures in twentieth-century poetry, a transitional figure whose work at once echoes the Symbolists and anticipates the work of the Surrealists.
