Nazi Literature In The Americas - pg. 36

The collection was entitled Cross of Flowers. None of the poems was more than thirty lines long. The first was entitled "Cross of Veils" the second "Cross of Flowers" and so on (the second last was "Cross of Iron" and the last "Cross of Ruins"). Their content, as the titles quite clearly suggest, was autobiographical, but had been subjected to hermetic verbal procedures which rendered the poems obscure and cryptic for reader attempting to retrace the arc of Zubieta's life or penetrate the mystery that would always surround his exile, his choices and his apparently futile death.
