About the Author
Velimir Khlebnikov (1885-1922) was a Russian poet and playwright who played an important role in the Russian Futurist movement. Over his short career, he experimented freely with form and language, even inventing his own language, and is now recognized as one of the major Russian poets of his era. Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) was a French poet, novelist and critic of Polish descent.
