Vicente Huidobro, a pioneering avant-garde poet, created "Creationism" amidst the modernist scenes of Paris and Barcelona. His epic work, "Altazor," features the antipoet Altazor racing through a surreal, Einsteinian universe at light speed. This dynamic long poem combines various linguistic elements, including playful puns and unique neologisms, culminating in an exploration of future language. Once deemed untranslatable, it is now presented in a revised translation with a comprehensive introduction, highlighting its innovative spirit and impact on poetry.
