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

Apollinaire - Roman by birth, Polish by name, 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. This title presents Apollinaire's poems.
