"It's raining women's voices as if they were dead even in memory."

Context of the work

One of Apollinaire's most iconic calligrams: the five verses descend in oblique lines across the page, like falling raindrops. Published in Calligrammes (1918), the poem uses rain as a metaphor for fading voices and memories.

Why is Apollinaire's "Il pleut" a famous calligram?

The verses of the poem are arranged in descending oblique lines on the page, visually imitating falling rain. The text associates this rain with women's voices and fading memories.

Gift idea for a visual poetry enthusiast, a modern literature student, or a lover of typographic art.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is FSC certified, so it comes from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
