The prix Guillaume Apollinaire is a French poetry prize first awarded in 1941.
 It was named in honour of French writer Guillaume Apollinaire.
 It annually recognizes a collection of poems for its originality and modernity.
Le Port, also known as The Harbor, The Port or simply Marine, is a painting by the French artist Jean Metzinger.
 The work was exhibited in the spring of 1912 at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, and at the Salon de La Section d'Or, Galerie La Boétie, October 1912, Paris, (no. 117 of the catalogue, entitled "Marine", collection Mme L. Ricou).
 "Le Port" was reproduced a few months later in the first major text on Cubism entitled "Du "Cubisme"", written in 1912 by Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes, published by Eugène Figuière Editeurs the same year.
 "The Harbor" was subsequently reproduced in "The Cubist Painters, Aesthetic Meditations (Les Peintres cubistes, Méditations Esthétiques)", written by Guillaume Apollinaire, published by Figuière in 1913 (collection Mme L. Ricou).
 At the Salon des Indépendants of 1912, Apollinaire had noticed the classical Ingresque qualities of Metzinger's "Le Port", and suggested that it deserved to be hung in the Musée du Luxembourg's modern art collection.
 The dimensions and current whereabouts of "Le Port" are unknown.
Thomas Bernhard (] ; born Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard; 9 February 1931 – 12 February 1989) was an Austrian novelist, playwright and poet.
 Bernhard, whose body of work has been called "the most significant literary achievement since World War II," is widely considered to be one of the most important German-speaking authors of the postwar era.
Edison is an epic poem by Czech poet Vítězslav Nezval.
 It was written in 1927.
 Later it was included in the poetic book "Básně noci" ("Poems of the Night") which was published in 1930.
 The main hero of the poem is American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, considered by the author to be a modern genius.
 Nezval's work is a praise of human activity, technology, and science, but also an expression of anxiety about civilisation.
 Nezval compares the inventor's work to writing poetry.
 He points out that every creative work demands much toil and courage.
 After Edison's death in 1931 Nezval wrote "Signál času" ("Signal of time") which is an elegy.
 Both poems are written in the same measure, trochaic hexameter.
 Nezval uses long enumerations, building sophisticated poetical imagery.
 Nezval's "Edison" was probably influenced by Guillaume Apollinaire's work, especially the poem "Zone", which was translated into Czech by Karel Čapek.
Du "Cubisme", also written Du Cubisme, or Du « Cubisme » (and in English, On Cubism or Cubism), is a book written in 1912 by Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger.
 This was the first major text on Cubism, predating "Les Peintres Cubistes" by Guillaume Apollinaire (1913).
 The book is illustrated with black and white photographs of works by Paul Cézanne (1), Gleizes (5), Metzinger (5), Fernand Léger (5), Juan Gris (1), Francis Picabia (2), Marcel Duchamp (2), Pablo Picasso (1), Georges Braque (1), André Derain (1), and Marie Laurencin (2).
Calligrammes:Poems of Peace and War 1913-1916, is a collection of poems by Guillaume Apollinaire which was first published in 1918 (see 1918 in poetry).
 "Calligrammes" is noted for how the typeface and spatial arrangement of the words on a page plays just as much of a role in the meaning of each poem as the words themselves - a form called a calligram.
 In this sense, the collection can be seen as either concrete poetry or visual poetry.
 Apollinaire described his work as follows:
Gunars Saliņš (April 21, 1924 – June 29, 2010) was a modernist poet within the Latvian lyric poetry tradition.
 He became a leading voice of the "Hell's Kitchen artists" (Elles ķēķis) - a Latvian emigre artist community in the U.S. which flourished in the 1950s and 60s, named after the neighborhood in New York where it originated.
 In his youth he was inspired by the Latvian poet Aleksandrs Čaks, and later by writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Guillaume Apollinaire, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Dylan Thomas.
 Saliņš' imagery playfully explored transformational and metaphysical elements in this world and beyond, often incorporating his personal experiences with allusions to myth, art, and ancient Latvian folklore - a process he referred to as "orpheism".
 Gunars Saliņš' poetry was widely circulated within the Latvian diaspora post-WWII; later his work was rediscovered and championed in Latvia in the post-Soviet era.
 In 2000 Saliņš was awarded the Order of the Three Stars by the Republic of Latvia.
L'Oiseau bleu (also known as The Blue Bird and Der Blaue Vogel) is a large oil painting created in 1912–1913 by the French artist and theorist Jean Metzinger (1883–1956); considered by Guillaume Apollinaire and André Salmon as a founder of Cubism, along with Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.
 "L'Oiseau bleu", one of Metzinger's most recognizable and frequently referenced works, was first exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Indépendants in the spring of 1913 (n. 2087), several months after the publication of the first (and only) Cubist manifesto, "Du «Cubisme»", written by Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes (1912).
 It was subsequently exhibited at the 1913 in Berlin (titled "Der blaue Vogel", n. 287).
 Apollinaire described "L'Oiseau bleu" as a 'very brilliant painting' and 'his most important work to date'.
 "L'Oiseau bleu", acquired by the City of Paris in 1937, forms part of the permanent collection at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
