The Universe Comes to Peck at My Hand: Selected Poems of Vidovro (translation Series of Orpheus Poems)
About This Novel
"The poet is a little god of creation." The Chilean poet Vidovro not only wrote this line of poetry, but also used it as an absolute imperative throughout his life's creation. Vidovro's pursuit of originality remained unchanged throughout his life. He is a "craftsman, architect of the castle in the air, and a stubborn alchemist" in Neruda's eyes, and he is the "invisible oxygen" of contemporary Spanish poetry in Paz's mind. As the founder and forerunner of Creacionismo, Vidovro made incomparable contributions to the development of Latin American avant-garde poetry. "The Universe Comes to Peck in My Hands" consists of the thousand-line poem "ALTAZOR", as well as short poems, prose poems, a "creationism" manifesto and a chronology. From the captivating craftsmanship of a work influenced by French poetry to the powerful power of a foundational work, Vidovro is a consistent force of play and fire, a struggle of escape and sacrifice. His poetic intelligence is the key to his glory. Like a magician, he creates poetry: we see mountains, rivers, forests, seas, sailing boats, birds, antelopes, flowers and shells; dewdrops twinkle in the lines of poetry, echoing for a long time the singing of water, the whispering of wind and leaves; the solemn light of humanity completely envelopes his late and final poems. Vidovro was Gao Yu, the "supreme and first poet", who contributed poetry with new images and concepts. The wind carries his flute into the future.
