Pierre Albert-Birot

Albert-Birot, Pierre (1876-1967). French poet and dramatist involved in the Cubist and Futurist movements. His poetry, from Trente et un poèmes de poche (1917) to Graines (1965), constantly strives for new forms and imaginative combinations. His theatre (Larountala, 1919; Le Bondieu, 1922) draws on circus and pantomime to create fantastic effects.
