Scope and Contents Dr. Bohn writes that this "study seeks to analyze Guillaume Apollinaire's literary and artistic reception by members of the European and American avant-gardes during the early twentieth century...tracing the impact of Apollinaire's ideas as they radiated outward in increasingly larger circles from Paris...limiting the period to 1920 in Europe and 1930 in Latin America...and restricting the study to the avant garde of the major European and American nations."Bohn reviews the close relation and influence of Apollinaire to Mario de Zayas, his "calligrammes" or concrete poems as they would be denoted today, in the periodical, 291. Further, he points out that Apollinaire was first recognized in America because of 291. This book is heavily slanted to the influence of Apollinaire on Spanish and Latin American poets. Indeed, Bohn lucidly reviews the works of some obscure (to Americans) Latin American visual poets like the Mexican, Juan Tablada. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

Bohn analyzes Apollinaire's exhibition catalog dealing with Leopold Survage and Irene Lagut using calligrams of prose as the vehicle for his critique. Bohn is especially intrigued with the rare handcolored edition of the catalog that he mentions is owned by the Columbia University rare book collection; it was the only copy he was able to find. Just after publication of his book, Bohn visited the Sackner Archive and learned of its handcolored edition - too late to include in the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The number 9 is substituted for all the letters "n" of the words in this text. Curt Cloninger in his Master of Fine Arts in Studio Arts thesis wrote about (Maine College of Arts 2008) "Apophatic Art: Enacting Exhaustive Language / Exhausting Enacted Language." He defined Apophatic Writiing: Apophatic writing in the Christian tradition is a way of talking about God that seeks to properly revere him by not overly delimiting him. "Apophasis' is negation and "kataphasis' is affirmation. Since God is beyond all we can affirm about him, in order to more accurately describe him, we must balance our affirmations with reverent negations. Theologian Bruce Ellis Benson (2002) explains, "One affirms something but denies it, because to affirm it too strongly would be heretical and to deny it completely would also be heretical." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
