Sinopsis

Raúl Zurita has long been recognized as one of the most important poetic voices in the Americas today. His compelling rhythms combine epic and lyric tones, public and most intimate themes, grief and joy. This bilingual volume of selected works is the first of its kind in any language, representing the remarkable range of this extraordinary poet. Zurita's work confronts the cataclysm of the Pinochet coup with a powerful urgency matched by his extraordinary craftsmanship and imaginative vision. In his attempt to address the atrocities that indelibly mark our continents, he makes manifest the common history of the Americas through the history and literature of Chile.

Acerca del autor

Raúl Zurita, a prolific poet and visual artist, has chronicled the violence against the Chilean people since the 1973 coup that replaced Salvador Allende’s democratic government with Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship. His work has been widely translated. Along with other artists, he founded the art action group CADA (Colectivo de Acciones de Arte), dedicated to the creation of political art resisting the military regime. In 1982 he composed a poem in the sky over New York, and in 1993 he bulldozed “ni pena ni miedo” (“no pain no fear”) into the coarse sands of the Atacama Desert. Zurita has been awarded the Chilean National Prize for Literatureand a scholarship from the Guggenheim Foundation. He is a professor emeritus at the Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago.
