Antipoems: How to Look Better & Feel Great by Nicanor Parra (English) Paperback

Description: Antipoems by Nicanor Parra, Liz Fania Werner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The first major collection in almost twenty years of new work by one of Latin Americas greatest poets. Publisher Description "Real seriousness," Nicanor Parra, the antipoet of Chile, has said, rests in "the comic." And read in that light, this newest collection of his work is very serious indeed. It is an abundant offering of his signature mocking humor, subverting received conventions and pretensions in both poetry and everyday life, public and private, ingeniously and wittily rendered into English in an antitranslation (the word is Parras) by Liz Werner. Of the fifty-eight pieces in Antipoems, the first twenty-three are taken from Parras 1985 collection, Hojas de Parra ("Vine Leaves" or "Leaves of Parra"), two others appeared in his Paginas en Blanco ("Blank Pages," 2001), while the rest come straight out of his notebooks and have never been published before, either in Spanish or English. The book itself is divided into two sections, "Antipoems" (im)proper and a selection of Parras most recent incarnation of the antipoem, the hand-drawn images of his "Visual Artefactos." As his anti-translator Liz Werner explains in her Introduction, Parras scientific training infuses his work."Viewed through the lens of antimatter," she writes, "antipoetry mirrors poetry, not as its adversary but as its perfect complement." Author Biography Born in 1914 in the southern city of Chillan, Nicanor Parra studied at the University of Chile, Brown, and Oxford, and spent many years as a teacher of mathematics and a professor of physics. Liz Fania Werner has lived and studied in Valparaiso, Chile. She recently completed an antiwar public poetry installation, "Blackout Poems," and is currently working on her first novel and conducting poetry-writing workshops in a juvenile detention center in her native New York City.
