Chilean Poets A New Anthology [Paperback]

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by many hands. This anthology offers a broad spectrum of modern and contemporary Chilean poetry, including both works by such eminent figures as Pablo Neruda, Gabriela Mistral, Pablo de Rocka, Vicente Huidobro, and Nicanor Parra and a representative sample from the succeeding groups and generations of poets who have gained public and critical acclaim. The editors have devoted considerable space to the new voices but not only to the best known among them and not just to their most familiar poems. The aim has been, rather, to encompass the diversity of aesthetic and thematic interests. The anthology include names such Armando Roa, Armando Uribe, Ximena Troncoso, Gonzalo Rojas, Elias Letelier, Rodrigo Lira, José Ángel Cuevas, Sergio Badilla Castro, Jaime Gómez Rogers, José María Memet, Waldo Rojas, Alfredo Lavergne, Rosamel del Valle, Vicente Huidobro, Pablo de Rokha, Juan Antonio Ríos and many more.
