I am currently researching Chilean writers, artists and musicians who lived in Paris c.1900 to c.1939.
 
One of these is Vicente Huidobro, avant-garde poet who founded (or perhaps didn't!) Creationism. Huidobro went to Europe at the end of 1916 and by early the following year had made contacts with several of the Parisian avant-garde including Apollinaire, Juan Gris, Jacques Lipchitz, and Pierre Reverdy.
 
Among Huidobro's publications of 1917 was "Horizon carré" with an illustration by Gris.
 
In 1919 Huidobro returned briefly to Chile were he announced several projects which never. in fact, reached fruition.
 
One of these was a translation of "Horizon carré" by Ezra Pound.
 
Does anyone have any information on Pound's contact with Huidobro? Or more generally connections between Pound and other Latin Americans?
 
Thank you very much,
