Skyquake

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of love, sex, and death, this 1928 work showcases an ecstatic outpouring of words that reflect a more unified style compared to its contemporaries. Addressed to an idealized feminine figure, it blends elements of mythology and personal experience, particularly drawing inspiration from Wagner's Isolde and the poet's second wife. This poem signifies a pivotal transition in Huidobro's writing, evolving from his earlier avant-garde approach to a more mature, surrealist-influenced style.
