Octavo. 37, (4)pp. Brull's collection of poems - his penultimate - evoke the ecstatic responses to modern life which came to characterize French Symbolism. Brull's appropriation of the style to Cuban culture adds to it a sense of postwar malaise and Caribbean anxiety in the face of emerging neoliberal jockeying among Western and European powers. Translated by Mathilde Mathilde Pomès. Bound in plain wrappers printed in black and sepia. Lightly sunned, some soiling at rear cover plus date stamp (Oct 14 1950), else near fine and crisp.
