Huidobro published Poemas árticos in Madrid in 1918, this being the last of a rapid series of publications which established him as a major new talent both in French and in Spanish.

Produktbeschreibung
Huidobro published Poemas árticos in Madrid in 1918, this being the last of a rapid series of publications which established him as a major new talent both in French and in Spanish. Poemas árticos is particularly interesting in that it shows the author taking on board lessons learned from Guillaume Apollinaire-an early friend in Paris-and probably also Pierre Reverdy, although this is something of an assumption, given that Reverdy repudiated his early work from this period and the poems that might have been an influence are no longer extant; the two poets also fell out, for reasons that are unclear. In any event, this is his longest Spanish-language volume up to this point, and marks a significant breakthrough.
Autorenporträt
Avant-garde poet Vicente Huidobro was born into an aristocratic family in Santiago, Chile. He is known as the creator and exponent of the literary movement called Creationism (Creacionismo), a kind of literary cubism. After studying literature at the University of Chile, he lived in Paris for some twelve years in total, where he associated with artists and poets such as Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Pierre Reverdy. Huidobro returned to Chile permanently in the early 1930s, founded a number of magazines, and ran for the presidency of Chile, ultimately losing the campaign. His most definitive works are Altazor and Temblor de cielo (both 1931), although readers should also pay attention to Poemas árticos (Arctic Poems, 1918), Ecuatorial (Equatorial, 1918), El ciudadano del olvido (Citizen of Oblivion, 1941), Ver y palpar (Seeing and Touching, 1941) and Últimos poemas (1948). He died in Cartagena, Chile in 1948, shortly before his 56th birthday.
