The Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) is one of the most important figures in 20th-century Hispanic poetry and, with César Vallejo, one of the pioneering avant-gardists in Spanish. Originally from an upper-class Santiago family, Huidobro was fortunate to have the means to support himself and his family while he found his artistic way. After an early phase writing in a quasi-symbolist style in his native city, he moved to Paris and threw himself into the local artistic milieu with a passion, quickly becoming a notable figure, publishing a large number of books in the period 1917-1925. Influenced initially by Apollinaire, Huidobro quickly befriended both forward-looking French writers such as Reverdy, Cocteau and Radiguet, and the Spanish expatriate artists, including Picasso and Juan Gris. He reached his poetic maturity in 1931 with the publication of two master-pieces: the long poem, Altazor, and the book-length prose-poem Temblor de cielo (Skyquake). Two further collections would follow during his lifetime, both published in Santiago in 1941. While he also published successful novels and plays, it is for his poetry that he is best remembered today. Ver y palpar is one of the two volumes published in 1941, its sister being El ciudadano de olvido (Citizen of Oblivion), released in this series in 2021. The two books contain some the author's finest poetry but are not generally part of the debate on Huidobro's work. These translations seek to correct that error.

Roberto Net Carlo (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 1954). Poeta y artista que propaga su obra extensa y alucinante como Roberto Ncar en Facebook, es un "vallejiano urbano" según Rafael Acevedo. Sobre Ncar, dice Ana Lindner: "Tratando de establecer un orden en su propio caos existencial, convida vida a esta conjunción de imagen y palabra, entre la realidad contextualizada y el lenguaje pérfido en su función expresiva: logra, así, una poética mordiente mediante la reelaboración permanente de nuevos dispositivos poéticos puestos en la escena de lo cotidiano." Una cotidianidad que incluye una visión aguda de los estragos del colonialismo en su tierra natal. Estos temas se rematan en su segundo libro en Luna Bisonte Prods, a menudo con formas de repetición y variación de frases y palabras que intensifican su visión y su experiencia honda de la vida en un mundo dominado por el posible colapso de la civilización humana. Un colapso que experimenta en el contexto muy personal e íntima de su vida en un mundo dañado por las injusticias del colonialismo, y un clima destruído por el capitalismo. Muchos de los poemas se pueden leer como partituras performativas. Y a veces hay un surrealismo que nos recuerda del gran poeta Aimé Cesaire, también caribeño. Escribe Ncar: "...la necesidad representar / el tao de la nada / la nada del tao / los tildes del caos / la delgadura de una boca que nos recuerda un girasol la / imagen de un túnel tumbado..." El libro incluye algunos poemas y formas visuales.

Joséphine a seize ans en 1840 quand son père, juge royal, est nommé en Guadeloupe. Comme la plupart des colons de l'époque, la famille s'installe dans une habitation sucrière, et la jeune fille découvre la vie sur l'île au milieu des esclaves, sur les flancs de la Soufrière.Peu après son arrivée, elle s'approche d'un fromager, un arbre majestueux connu aux Antilles pour abriter le diable et des monstres terrifiants : les soucougnans. Dès lors, Joséphine est vue d'un très mauvais oeil par la population locale.Apprenant par hasard que le précédent propriétaire a été empoisonné, elle décide, avec l'aide de son ami métis Gabriel, de mener l'enquête pour découvrir la vérité. Ils se retrouvent très vite confrontés aux croyances des habitants ainsi qu'à des événements inattendus...

La historia del hombre, sus afluentes, vericuetos, visicitudes, dentro de una sociedad, país (por nacimiento, por elección), vienen a integrar ese coro de versos que construyen el corpus del poema para que ande en pos de la eternidad. Una historia -personal, grupal- contada desde dentro, desde fuera, sin parsimonia, con mucha locuacidad, casi un grito, forma la simbiosis y engranaje del hombre que camina, siente y canta, el hombre que nace y cree, el hombre que cuestiona. Versos cuestionando hechos, acontecimientos, sentencias bíblicas, formas de ver/asumir y vivir la vida y la realidad circundante. También dibuja su dolor, porque "el dolor es un ave que pica las entrañas" (Mailin Castro Suárez). Sus palabras son pájaros en flor, nunca consignas, ni barricadas. Por ello, en las páginas de Versos de la otredad, 25 poetas santiagueros lo existencial fluye, corroe, profundiza, busca el cómplice propicio, el buen samaritano que sepa cargar todos los versos desgarrados, desgranados. La alegría viene implícita como el reverso de la moneda: el nacimiento, la mirada hacia la infancia, la familia, amigos, convergiendo y sosteniendo el mundo interior para abanicarlo y perfumarlo.Versos de la otredad propone una lectura novedosa, única e indispensable para acercarnos a 25 poetas santiagueros: unos por nacimiento, otros por adopción; todos miembros de la misma y gran familia (ciudad), quienes con su verso encantarán al lector, el cual no quedará defraudado. La nave poética está lista, solo resta navegar.Juan Manuel Alsina Milanés

This volume offers the most complete English translation to date of the prose and poetry of José María Heredia (b. Cuba, 1803; d. Mexico, 1839), focusing on Heredia's political exile in the United States from November 1823 to August 1825. Frederick Luciani's introduction offers a complete biographical sketch that discusses the complications of Heredia's life in exile, his conflicted political views, his significance as a travel writer and observer of life in the United States, and his reception by nineteenth-century North American writers and critics. The volume includes thoroughly annotated letters that Heredia wrote to family and friends in Cuba, describing his struggles and adventures living among other young expatriates in New York City--fellow conspirators in a failed plot to overthrow Spanish rule on the island. His travel letters, especially those that describe his trip to the Niagara frontier in 1824 along the Hudson River and the Erie Canal, offer discerning reflections on American landscapes, technological advances, political culture, and social customs. The volume also offers translations of the verse that Heredia composed during his New York exile, in which he gave impassioned voice to Cuba's struggle for independence from Spain, and which reflected the emerging Romantic sensibilities in Spanish-language poetry. With accurate, clear translations, this volume serves as an introduction to a figure who is enshrined in the canon of Latin American literature, but scarcely known to Anglophone readers.
