Apollinaire and aesthetics of loss
Abstract
Does aesthetics of loss exist? What can we lose when we give vent to our poetic creative
activity? These questions are posed by Apollinaire in the three verses of the Calligrammes
collection, used to interpret the Alcools collection: "To lose/But to lose truly/ In order to
make room for revelation." Accordingly, what does the experience of creative loss consist
in? It is about emphasizing all this that can be lost in a poetic text in order to see that loss can
become a creative process once it turns out to be impossible, and that poetic revelation can
only take place in a situation when we lose something. Apollinaire was distrustful of all
explicit poetic manifestos; therefore, the answers full of nuances should be sought in the
dim light of Alcools and its interpretations.
