Guillaume Apollinaire, Calligrammes (1918)

Abstract

Abstract This chapter discusses Guillaume Apollinaire's calligrams. This chapter attempts to make reference to some of the devices and effects found in contemporary visual art, and in particular, in the Cubism movement which was believed to be the dominating force and inspiration behind Apollinaire's calligrams. In this chapter some of his poems such as Les Soirées de Paris, Il pleut, and L' Éventail des saveurs are examined. These are looked at within the context of rhythm, scansion, and the visual arts depicted as Cubism and Futurism found in the structure and characteristics of the poems.
