Summary:

Huidobro published this collection of manifestos and statements on poetics in 1925, and it summed up the previous 8 or 9 years of his work. The truth is, however, that he was already moving away from some of the positions espoused in this volume, and this volume and the two poetry collections listed below as Paris 1925, were his last publications in French. From 1926 onwards he is emphatically a Spanish-language poet, although some works continued to be composed in both languages (particularly Altazor and Temblor de cielo / Tremblement de ciel), or were translated by the author into French for magazine publication--Publisher's website.
