«Altazor» is the extensive experimental poem by Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro, published by Visor in paperback (97 pages, in Spanish).
In the poem, a character descends from the sky while language transforms and dismantles itself. Huidobro combines surrealist images, invented words and phonetic games to explore poetic creation, the fall and the search for a new expression. The work becomes an experimental journey through the limits of language.
This 1973 edition belongs to the Visor Poetry Collection, no. 41, published in Madrid. The poem, originally written in 1931, is offered here in Spanish.
For readers interested in experimental Latin American poetry and the twentieth-century avant-garde.
Vicente García-Huidobro Fernández, known by the pseudonym Vicente Huidobro, was a Chilean poet, writer, editor and literary critic. A proponent of the avant-garde, Huidobro was the founder of Creationism and is considered one of the four greats of Chilean poetry.
