Huidobro is the quintesential Latino contemporary poet.
This epic poem begins with language that is fascinating and strangely honest.It is written in seven cantos which prove to be a very easy read and striking at the same time.Huidobro invites you into a world that iscreated and governed by himself, much like the world Tolkien created in"Middle Earth." The difference is that in Huidobro's world thereare no rules, no grammar, and no universal truths.A reader should leavehis or her own biases and assumptions at the cover of the book.By thetime the poem is in its last canto, the author arrogantly assumes that thereader speaks the language of the poem and writes accordingly.The poemwas written for readers who can understand the last canto of the poem,which to the naked eye appears to be nonsense.Huidobro is one of thefinest contemporary poets that I have come across. ...
