Alcools
This edition presents a new translation of Guillaume Apollinaire’s 1913 collection Alcools, a work described as complex and beautiful. The translation is paired with the original French text on facing pages, making it the only U.S. edition of this seminal French Modernist volume. Apollinaire’s verse is noted for its simultaneity, a poetic counterpart to Picasso’s cubism, and for influencing later movements such as the New York School and the Beat Generation.
