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\" \u003cbr\u003eReared 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. \u003cbr\u003eCarolyne 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.\" .","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723403354454,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780292738676_1.jpg?v=1781773082","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/jorge-teillier-in-order-to-talk-with-the-dead-selected-poems-of-jorge-teillier-texas-pan-american-series-9780292738676","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
