The Self-Dismembered Man: Selected Later Poems of Guillaume Apollinaire (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Guillaume Apollinaireâ€™s final years exactly coincided with the clamorous advent of European Modernism and with the cataclysms of WWI. In The Self-Dismembered Man, poet Donald Revell offers new English translations of the most powerful poems Apollinaire wrote during those years: poems of nascent surrealism, of combat and of war-weariness. Here, too, is Apollinaireâ€™s last testament, â€œThe Pretty Redhead,â€ a farewell to the epoch that heâ€”as poet, convict, art-critic, artilleryman and boulevardierâ€”did so much to conjure and sustain until his death on Armistice Day in 1918. Readers of Apollinaireâ€™s more familiar early work, Alcools (Wesleyan, 1995), will find here a darker and yet more tender poet, a poet of the broken world who shares entirely the worldâ€™s catastrophe even as he praises to the end its glamour and its strange innocence. This English translation, facing the original French, illuminates Apollinaireâ€™s crucial and continuing influence on the European and American avant-garde. The volume includes a short translatorâ€™s preface.
