The universe comes to my hands and eats

El universo viene a picotear en mis manos

📘 A collection of representative poems by Vicente Huidobro, a pioneer of Spanish-speaking American avant-garde poetry and the father of "creationism" 📘 Carefully compiled by Fan Ye, the translator of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Huidobro's birth 📘 "I regard Vicente Huidobro as a classic poet of our language,
We are fascinated by this endless torrent, this bright stream that has no end.
"No other poetry has ever been so luminous as that of Huidobro." — Pablo Neruda. "A poet is a little demiurge." The Chilean poet Huidobro not only penned these lines but also used them as an absolute imperative throughout his life. Huidobro's unwavering pursuit of originality remained constant throughout his life. In Neruda's eyes, he was a "craftsman, architect of castles in the air, and stubborn alchemist," and in Paz's eyes, the "invisible oxygen" of contemporary Spanish poetry. As a founder and pioneer of Creacionismo, Huidobro made an unparalleled and remarkable contribution to the development of avant-garde Latin American poetry.
"The Universe Comes to Eat from My Hands" consists of the thousand-line poem "Altazor," as well as shorter poems, prose poems, a "creationist" manifesto, and a chronology. From the captivating craftsmanship of his French-influenced works to the powerful force of his seminal works, Vidobro consistently possesses a struggle of play and fire, of escape and sacrifice. His poetic intellect is the key to his brilliance. Like a magician, he conjures poetry: we see mountains, rivers, forests, the sea, sailboats, birds, antelopes, flowers, and shells; dewdrops glitter in his lines, echoing the melody of water and the whisper of wind and leaves; a solemn light of humanity pervades his late and final poems.
Vidobro is the great poet, the "highest and first poet," who contributes poetry with new images and concepts.
The wind carries his flute music into the future.
