Gefundene Autoren: Vicente Huidobro

Avant-garde poet Vicente Huidobro was born into an aristocratic family in Santiago, Chile. He is known as the creator and exponent of the literary movement called Creationism (Creacionismo), a kind of literary Cubism which combined aspects of modernism with neo-platonism and the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. After studying literature at the University of Chile, he lived in Paris for about ten years, where he associated with poets and artists such as Pablo Picasso, Guillame Apollinaire, and Pierre Reverdy. Huidobro returned to Chile in the mid-1920s, founded a number of magazines, and ran for the presidency of Chile, ultimately losing the campaign. His most definitive works are Altazor and Temblor de cielo (both 1931), but the late collections, Ciudadano del olvido and Ver y palpar (both 1941) sum up his then-uncollected mature work over some 250 pages and demonstrate his undoubted status as a major figure in latin American, and indeed, world poetry. He was an activist against the Franco regime in the 1930s and served as a war correspondent during World War 2, being wounded in the process. He died in Cartagena, Chile in 1948, at the age of 56.
