A fully annotated, bilingual edition, Calligrammes is a key work not only in Apollinaire's own development but 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.

Wish I could give this more stars,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War (1913-1916), A Bilingual Edition (Paperback)
This book is amazing. After reading this it quickly became my favorite poetry book. I ordered all his other books shortly after that including the plays, the art critiques, the other poetry books, the short erotic novels and the short stories. Very fascinated with all things Apollinaire. But, this is my favorite and not just because it was my first. It's a revolution in poetry. Accessible, experimental, charming and very, very creative. I now think differently and I like it. Thank you, Guillame.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a masterpiece,
This review is from: Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War (1913-1916), A Bilingual Edition (Paperback)
This work is nothing short of a masterpiece.
If you're just being introduced to poetry or Guillaume Apollinaire, this is a must-read. I can't even begin to describe the depth and meaning found in every word of this book. The only complaint I have is that the translations were not always accurate, but with a book of this size, there are inevitably going to be small translation errors. Read it! It will change your life.
