Alcools
Alcools | Guillaume Apollinaire
1 post | 2 read
Guiilaume Apollinaire, a leading figure amongst the young writers and artists in France until his death in 1918, published 'Alcools', his first book of poems, in 1913. With its wide range of verse forms and contrasting registers of style, 'Alcools' had a considerable influence on Surrealist poetry. The poems provide a splendid example of the lyrical art in which the paradoxes of Apollinaire are held in high poetic tension. The editor's introduction and notes take place in the 20th Century and explain allusion and difficulties in the text.

#OnThisDay in 1911 French playwright and poet Guillaume Apollinaire was arrested on suspicion of stealing the Mona Lisa. He was released a week later after implicating Picasso in the theft. Apollinaire was a popular member of the Parisian artistic community and became one of the foremost French poets of the early 20th century following the publication of Alcools in 1913. #HistoryGetsLIT

vivastory The Mona Lisa theft was wild! There should be a Netflix documentary on it🤣 The museum guard was literally asleep on the job 2y
TheKidUpstairs @vivastory I'm surprised there's not one! I think there's a never ending audience for heist movies (myself included - Smooth and well crafted, or bumbling amateur thief, I'll watch them all) 2y
