«Calligrammes» is the poetry collection by Guillaume Apollinaire, published by Distribooks Inc in paperback (192 pages, in French).
It brings together poems written between 1913 and 1916, with World War I as a backdrop. Apollinaire arranges words on the page to draw objects and figures: typography forms images that add to the meaning of the text, with war, peace, love and modernity as central themes.
With a preface by Michel Butor, it belongs to the Poésie/Gallimard collection. Full title: Calligrammes: Poèmes de la paix et de la guerre (1913-1916). Originally published in 1918.
It will appeal to readers of French poetry and literature students, as it is a work commonly found in academic programs.
Guillaume Apollinaire was a Polish-French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist and art critic of Polish, Swiss and Italian descent.
