Equatorial and other poems

<p>This volume includes the 4 chapbooks published in 1917-18 and presents at first glance an odd mixture. Chronologically we have <em>El espejo de agua</em> written in 1914-16 first published in 1916 but to all intents and purposes not distributed until 1918. <em>Horizon carré</em>(see below) follows and then come <em>Ecuatorial</em> (written in Spanish) <em>Poemas árticos</em> <em>Hallali</em> and <em>Tour Eiffel</em> the last two being composed in French. The last two publications from this period <em>Hallali</em> and <em>Tour Eiffel-</em>both marked by textual experimentation-were very important for the rising wave of the Spanish avant-garde.</p><p></p><p>In this second edition we have added an appendix containing the French version of the title poem <em>Équatoriale</em> which is at least partly translated by the author<em> </em>an early version of <em>Tour Eiffel</em> as published in the magazine <em>Nord-Sud</em> together with a Spanish version of the finished poem. All poetry in the book is presented in bilingual form.</p>
