Poetry across forms and registers
First published in 1913, Guillaume Apollinaire’s *Alcools* brings together poems that range across verse forms and styles. The collection is noted in the supplied description for its influence on Surrealist poetry, placing it within an important period of early twentieth-century French literary history. An editor’s introduction and notes accompany the poems, offering context for their allusions and textual difficulties. The book therefore combines a varied body of poetry with supporting material that helps clarify references and points that may be challenging to follow.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers exploring early twentieth-century French poetry and its influence on Surrealism.
