In Order to Talk with the Dead

Selected Poems of Jorge Teillier

By: Jorge Teillier

In order to talk with the dead you have to know how to wait: they are fearful like the first steps of a child. But if we are patient one day they will answer us with a poplar leaf trapped in a broken mirror, with a flame that suddenly revives in the fireplace, with a dark return of birds before the glance of a girl who waits motionless on the threshold." —from "In Order to Talk with the Dead" Reared in the rainy forests of Chile's "La Frontera" region which had nurtured Pablo Neruda a generation earlier, Jorge Teillier has become one of Chile's leading contemporary poets, whose work is widely read in Latin America and Europe along with the poetry of his well-known contemporaries Nicanor Parra and Enrique Lihn. This English-Spanish bilingual anthology now introduces English-speaking readers to Teillier, with a representative selection of his best work from all phases of his career. Carolyne Wright has translated poems from the volumes Muertes y maravillas (1971), Para un pueblo fantasma (1978), and Cartas para reinas de otras primaveras (1985). Avoiding the bravura effects of some of his contemporaries, Teillier writes from a life lived directly and simply, returning time and again in his poetry to the timeless and mythic South of his boyhood, the "Land of Nevermore.

Philosophy and Literature in Latin America

A Critical Assessment of the Current Situation

By: Jorge J. E. Gracia

Philosophy and Literature in Latin America presents a unique and original view of the current state of development in Latin America of two disciplines that are at the core of the humanities. Divided into two parts, each section explores the contributions of distinguished American and Latin American experts and authors. The section on literature includes the literary activities of Latin Americans working in the United States, an area in which very little research has been demonstrated and, for that reason, will add an interesting new dimension to the field of Latin American studies.

Esclavos de la consigna

By: Jorge Edwards

Las nuevas y fascinantes memorias del Premio Cervantes En Esclavos de la consigna, Jorge Edwards hace unretrato tan irónico como entrañable de lo que fuesu vida hacia mediados del siglo XX, mostrando depaso un Chile que con la perspectiva de los años leresulta más libre, creativo y comunitario que el de hoy, pero también más cándido, lleno de convicciones ilusas, de esclavos de la consigna. Con gracia y agilidad notables, Edwards narra el tiempo en que se formó y consolidó como escritor y como integrante de una escena cultural por/en la que circulaban, entre otros, Pablo Neruda, Nicanor Parra, Enrique Lihn, Luis Oyarzún, Stella Díaz Varín, Alejandro Jodorowsky y José Donoso. Continuación plenamente autónoma del relato autobiográfico que Edwards comenzara en Los círculos morados, este nuevo libro suyo invita a recordar un mundo ido y a reflexionar sobre el incierto presente. Reseña: "Un retrato inolvidable del encanto y desencanto de los intelectuales con las utopías socialistas.

Persona non grata

By: Jorge Edwards

In 1970 Edwards was sent by socialist Chilean President Allende as his country's first envoy to break the diplomatic blockade that had sealed Cuba for over a decade, and open a Chilean embassy. His arrival coincided with the turning point of the revolution, when Castro began to repress the very intellectuals he once courted. Edwards recorded his disenchantment with the revolution in this book that made him a victim of double censorship and was banned by the left as well as the right. Since its publication over thirty years ago, it has maintained its authenticity and is considered the most controversial and notorious work of the winner of the Premio Cervantes 1999.
