"Sept Calligrammes" is a collection of poems by the influential French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, known for his contributions to the avant-garde and for coining the term "surrealism." This collection, whose title translates to "Seven Calligrams," showcases Apollinaire's experimentation with calligrammes, a type of visual poetry in which the layout and typography of the words are arranged on the page to form a visual image that expresses the thematic content of the poem.

Published posthumously, "Sept Calligrammes" reflects Apollinaire's fascination with the interplay between visual and verbal art. The poems are characterized by their innovative use of space and form, as Apollinaire believed that the appearance of the text could enhance the meaning and emotional impact of the words. The collection is a testament to his pioneering spirit and his desire to break down the traditional boundaries between different artistic mediums.

The calligrammes in this collection are often celebrated for their ability to capture the dynamism of modern life and the turmoil of the early 20th century, particularly the experiences of World War I, during which Apollinaire served and was wounded. His work in "Sept Calligrammes" is emblematic of his broader artistic vision, where he sought to integrate the visual and the literary to create a more immersive and expressive form of poetry.

As a key figure in the development of modernist literature, Apollinaire's "Sept Calligrammes" continues to be studied and admired for its creativity and its impact on the evolution of poetic form. The collection remains an important work in the history of literature and is often cited as a significant example of the potential for typography to extend the meaning of the written word.
