'''Guillaume Apollinaire''' ( 1880 – 1918) was an Italian-born [[French]] [[poet]], playwright, novelist, and art critic. In his poetry, Apollinaire enjoyed mixing sensory effects in his language, and he often played with unexpected combinations of words. [http://www.biography.com/people/guillaume-apollinaire-9186928]
<blockquote>
Apollinaire made a name for himself in the Paris's bohemian circles. He befriended many avant-garde artists, including [[Henri Matisse]], [[Pablo Picasso]], and [[Robert Delaunay]]. [[Ibidem]]
</blockquote>
Among his works: ''Le bestiaire ou le cortège d’Orphée'', 1911, ''Alcools'', 1913, ''Calligrammes'' (poetry in which typography and layout adds to the overall effect), 1918, ''Les Mamelles de Tirésias'', play, 1917, ''Méditations esthétiques''. ''Les peintres cubistes'', 1913, on the [[cubism|cubist]] painters, ''L'esprit nouveau et les poètes'', 1918, ''Poèmes à Lou'', 1955.
