Both pushed poetry to its limit, and their experiments proved fertile for generations of poets to come. Khlebnikov became associated with Futurism, though his inventiveness with language moved him far beyond it, while Apollinaire influenced a dizzying array of avant-garde movements, including Surrealism, Dadaism and Cubism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChandler offers a stimulating selection from both poets' work in beautifully vivid new translations.
