Arctic Poems, Vicente Huidobro, tr. Nathan Hoks, from Toad Press

From a brief review in molussus, "an online broadside of world literature":
Claremont, California-based Toad Press publishes the most consistently interesting contemporary chapbook series in America—to my knowledge—with their International Chapbook Series. Its most recent addition is a selection of short lyrics by [Vicente] Huidobro (1893 – 1948), the Chilean-born avant-garde poet who wrote the book-length Altazor, most recently republished in Eliot Weinberger’s translation by Wesleyan University Press in 2004.
