In 1941, Huidobro was to do something that he had done several times before, which was to issue two new collections of his poems in the same year, this time in Santiago, rather than in Paris or Madrid. His previous new publications had been in 1931, the banner year in which Altazor and Temblor de cielo (Skyquake) appeared. The poems in this volume were composed between 1924 and 1934, according to the title page, and thus come from the heated period in which those two previous works had germinated, the period in which the author had returned to Paris with a new wife and had published a successful novel, and the period in which his work grew to be that of a contemporary maestro. Added to the original collection here are four French versions of the poems made by the author.
