''Alcools'' is a collection of poems by the French writer Guillaume Apollinaire, first published in 1913. This seminal work marked a significant departure from the traditions of nineteenth-century poetry and is considered one of the cornerstones of modernist literature. The collection's title, which translates to "Alcohols" in English, reflects the intoxicating and transformative nature of Apollinaire's verse, which often explores themes of love, despair, and the search for meaning in an increasingly industrialized and uncertain world.

Apollinaire's innovative approach to form and language in ''Alcools'' is characterized by a free verse style, a departure from the strict rhyming patterns and regular rhythms that dominated French poetry at the time. The poet's use of fragmentation, juxtaposition, and vivid, sometimes disorienting imagery reflects the influence of Cubism, a movement with which Apollinaire was closely associated. The collection also exhibits elements of Surrealism, a movement that Apollinaire is credited with helping to define through his theoretical writings and poetic practice.

''Alcools'' includes some of Apollinaire's most famous poems, such as "Zone," "Le Pont Mirabeau," and "La Chanson du Mal-Aimé." These works showcase the poet's ability to blend the traditional with the avant-garde, drawing on classical references and mythological motifs while simultaneously embracing the pace and fragmentation of modern life. The collection's exploration of the self and the fluidity of identity is often seen as a reflection of Apollinaire's own multicultural background and experiences in bohemian Paris.

The publication of ''Alcools'' came at a pivotal moment in Apollinaire's career and in the cultural landscape of early twentieth-century Europe. The collection's lasting impact on the development of modern poetry can be seen in its influence on later poets and its enduring place in the canon of French literature. ''Alcools'' remains a subject of scholarly interest and is widely taught and studied in literature courses around the world, celebrated for its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and innovative spirit.
