Chantre
Paris, Éditions du Capricorne, 2003.
Miniature book of one oblong folding leaf, in a flexible binding (Anick Butré).
One of 10 numbered copies (no. 5), bound by Anick Butré.
A striking graphic realization of Apollinaire’s famous “Chantre.” This poem, which appeared in Alcools in 1913, consists of a single line, said to concentrate every sonorous musicality of the French language: “et l’unique cordeau des trompettes marines.”
