"Calligrammes: Poèmes de la paix et de la guerre 1913-1916" is a collection of poetry by Guillaume Apollinaire, first published in 1918. The work is renowned for its innovation in verse form, particularly the use of visual layout to enhance the effect of the poem on the reader. The term "calligramme" describes a poem written in a shape which visually represents the topic of the poem, integrating the text and the visual image into a single cohesive unit.

Apollinaire, a leading figure in the avant-garde movement in early 20th-century Paris, drew inspiration from his experiences during World War I, reflecting the themes of love, loss, and the upheaval of war. The poems in "Calligrammes" are noted for their emotional intensity and technical innovation. The collection is divided into various sections, each of which explores different motifs and utilizes unique forms, including free verse and concrete poetry. The visual elements in the poems are not mere decoration but integral to the reader's experience of the text.

"Calligrammes" is considered a seminal work that pushed the boundaries of poetic form and expressed the modernist ethos in literature. Apollinaire's use of spatial arrangement and typographical play in the poems anticipates later developments in visual and concrete poetry, making "Calligrammes" a pioneering work in the evolution of graphic design within literary contexts.
