HALLALI
Vicente Huidobro
Hallali is the sound of the hunting horn.
It is also Huidobro's great war poem, a Creationist concrete poem talking about strange the emergence of the Great War, and the hope for the Great Peace to come.
Of the outset, he writes:
AUGUST 1914
It is a harvest of frontiers
Over the horizon something is happening
On Aurora’s gibbet the cities are all hanged
Cities smoking like pipes
Hallali
Hallali
And it's not a song
