{"product_id":"9780292753587","title":"In Order to Talk with the Dead: Selected Poems of Jorge Teillier","description":"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.\"","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116182061296,"sku":"9780292753587","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780292753587_p0.jpg?v=1763683471","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780292753587","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
