Ce premier recueil de poèmes de Pierre Albert-Birot, préfacé par Guillaume Apollinaire, paraît deux mois avant la création des Mamelles de Tirésias, au conservatoire Maubel le 24 juin 1917. Pierre Albert-Birot publiera la pièce l’année suivante. Ces quelques années sont particulièrement féconde pour Pierre Albert-Birot et sa revue d’avant-garde SIC. Apollinaire et lui créeront le néologisme de “sur-réalisme”. La revue SIC, revue d’avant-garde la plus importante durant la guerre (avec celle de Pierre Reverdy, Nord-Sud), publia plusieurs poèmes d’Apollinaire dont le calligramme Il pleut, nécessitant une grande prouesse typographique.
