Guillaume Apollinaire, originally Apollinaris Kostrowitzky
(1880-1918) was a French poet, born in Rome of Polish descent. He settled
in Paris in 1900, and became a leader of the movement rejecting poetic
traditions in outlook, rhythm, and language. His work, bizarre, symbolist
and fantastic, and akin to the Cubist school in painting, is expressed
chiefly in L'Enchanteur pourissant (1909), Le Bestaire (1911),
Les Alcools (1913) and Calligrammes (1918). Wounded in World
War I, during this convalescence he wrote the play Les Mamelles de
Tirésias (1918), for which he coined the term 'surrealist'. Crystal
