Selected Poems

This selected edition presents an overview of all of Huidobro's work, from 1914 until 1948, when his final, posthumous volume was published. moving from the early symbolist work, though the high avant-garde phase towards the end of the First World War, then through the phase of Altazor and Temblor de cielo (Skyquake), the highpoint of his career (both published 1931), and on into the quieter late poetry which synthesises the previous work and settles down into a post-vanguard style. Also includes manifestos and interviews.
