Juan Larrea (Bilbao, 1895 - Córdoba, Argentina, 1980) was related to Creacionismo, a literary movement founded by Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro and Spanish poet Gerardo Diego.

This volume collects the letters written by Larrea to hispanista David Bary (San Francisco, 1924).The Basque poet was sixty years old then, and their correspondence went on for twenty five years. His letters, perhaps due to his age, expressed his wish to recount his experiences, to preserve and to pass on data and writings for their study.
