In selecting these fifteen essential poems, Chilean poet Ral Zurita was guided by the question, 'What poem, had it not been written, would have rendered the author another author and Latin American poetry something else?' This extraordinary gathering of talentfrom Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda to Ernesto Cardenal and Csar Vallejospans the twentieth century.From 'The Heights of Macchu Picchu':How many times in the wintry streets of a city or ina bus or a boat at dusk, or in the deepest loneliness, a night of revelry beneath the soundof shadows and bells, in the very grotto of human pleasureI've tried to stop and seek the eternal unfathomable lodethat I touched before on stone or in the lightning unleashed by a kiss . . .Ral Zurita, winner of the Chilean National Prize for Literature, survived arrest and torture during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. He cofounded CADA (Colectivo de accin de arte), and has created huge poetic art pieces, including poems carved into cliffs that can only be read from the sky.Forrest Gander is a poet, translator, and professor at Brown University.
