This bilingual edition brings together the full range of Apollinaire's work, from traditional lyric verse to innovative visual poems called calligrams. The selection includes both well-known classics and previously untranslated gems. The book features an introduction by Peter Read, helpful endnotes, a preface, and an annotated bibliography by Padgett. With its compact and judicious choice of essential poems, this edition offers a comprehensive understanding of Apollinaire's achievement.
