During his lifetime his body of work was published in journals and periodical publications which were compiled in 1911 - four years after the poet's death - by Ernesto Montenegro under the title of "Alma Chilena" (The Chilean Soul) – the name of one of Pezoa Véliz's most renowned and cited poem. Subsequently, in 1927, Armando Donoso published a new book including new poems, short stories and journalistic articles under the title "Campanas de Oro" (The Golden Chimes), which were later on broadened by Nicomedes Guzman in his "Antología de Carlos Pezoa Véliz" (Anthology of Carlos Pezoa Véliz) (1957; 2 ed 1966).
