Guillaume Apollinaire was a French poet and short story writer. He also worked as a novelist, art critic, and playwright. He is credited with coining the term “Cubism,” using it to describe an emerging art movement. Apollinaire is one of the most important poets of the 20th century.
Apollinaire’s ‘It’s Raining’ uses weather to symbolize war’s emotional toll, blending melancholy with hope in a unique vertical form.
its raining womens voices as if they were dead even in memory
its raining you too marvelous encounters of my life oh droplets
‘Zone’ by Guillaume Apollinaire describes a dream-like walk through Paris that spans an entire day, from sunup to sunup.
Behold the tree forever tufted with prayer
Behold the double gallows honor and eternity
Behold the six-pointed star
