«Calligrammes» is Guillaume Apollinaire's visual poetry collection, published by Belin in paperback (224 pages, in French).
The volume brings together poems composed between 1913 and 1916 in which Apollinaire plays with typography: words are arranged on the page forming silhouettes of flowers, a vase and other figures, so that the verse also becomes an image. Alongside everyday and amorous motifs, war appears as a backdrop to several poems.
Originally published in 1918; this Belin edition belongs to the Classico Collège collection and includes the complete French text with study material.
Recommended for students of French literature and readers interested in the visual poetry of the avant-garde.
