The night is so beautiful with its cooing bullets is a beautiful collection of poems by Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), selected, introduced, translated and annotated by Kiki Coumans. The French original is always next to the very striking Dutch translation. Coumans also has great solutions for Apollinaire’s calligrammes, in which typography contributes to the poem.
