Oliverio Girondo authored seven innovative collections of poetry before his death in 1967. Born in Buenos Aires, he frequently traveled to Europe, where he was involved with both the French symbolists and the Spanish avant-garde. He was at the center of an Argentine vanguard focused around the influential journals Martin Fierro and Proa. He has two other collections available in English: Poems to Read on a Streetcar (New Directions) and In the Moremarrow (Action Books).
