simultaneously engaging in a variety of under takings. He contributed to Multitud of Santiago, Chile, to Repertorio Americano of San Jose, Costa Rica, to El Pais, Hoy and Accion Social of Havana, among many other journals. Moreover, he translated French surrealist poetry, compiled selections on Afrocuban poetry for Cantos y cuentos negros de Cuba, gave radio talks; all this in addition to his job as chancellor to the General Consulate of Chile in Havana. A change of position compelled the writer-diplomat to leave for the Dominican Republic, in 1943, during the Trujillo regime. His literary activity consisted of the following: In 1943, he founded a literary page in La Opinion, where he initiated a cultural section entitled "Ventana de Cada dia"; he gave lectures for various groups; he founded, together with Domingo Moreno Jimenez and Mariano Lebron, the poetic movement called "Los Triaiogos"; he helped establish and co-edited the movement and magazine La Poesia Sorprendida, who according to Franklin Mieses Burgos, was Baeza Flores who suggested the name. However, he has largely remained obscure, particularly in his home country, due to the fact that most of his literary work was produced outside of Chile.
