This book reprints Tablada's poems published in periodicals and books in chronologic order. Tablada's book, Li-Po y Otros Poemas published in Caracas in 1920 with a visual poem by Marius de Zayas is reprinted in entirety. The poems of this 30 page book are printed mainly in a calligraphic font and are reminiscent of the calligrames of Apollinaire. Thereafter, up until the last poems written in 1933, Tablada returned to conventional poems. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
