Apollnaire, Art and Poetry

Here is a class I taught on Guillaume Apollinaire at Pace University during the pandemic.  It began with a class discussion of the poet's writings on art, mostly about Cubism, Futurism, Orphism and Dada.  Then we moved on to Apollinaire's collection Calligrammes, in particular the poems "Liens," "Lundi Rue Christine," and "Lettre-Ocean," all in translation of course. #apollinaire, #guillaumeapollinaire, #cubism, #calligrams, #calligrammes
