This assemblage of uncollected Huidobro texts covers some stray manuscripts — few of these actually survive and have not been collected somewhere in the previous books in this series — and his occasional poems: works in honour of the Soviet Union, of Republican Spain, of fallen France, of his paramour (and later common-law wife) Ximena, plus a vitriolic attack on some Italian (i.e. fascist) aviators working with the Chilean Air Force. Two early works are added, from the period that might be regarded as juvenilia, as they show an early interest in shaped poems — not quite calligrammes , but with some affinity. Also included, for the first time between the covers of a book, is Huidobro's "missing" poem from 1927 in homage to Charles Lindbergh, composed just after the flight of the Spirit of St Louis across the Atlantic.
