The Call to
Destroy Nixon

by Pablo Neruda

translated by Chad Sweeney

[F]rom time to time I must be
a bard of public service,
which is to say that
I must give the lumberjack,
the shepherd, the bricklayer, the farm-hand,
the gasfitter or any poor foot soldier,
the power to break free with a clean punch
or to release the madness
like flames from his ears.

This anthology offers a broad spectrum of modern and contemporary Chilean poetry, including both works by such eminent figures asPablo Neruda, Gabriela Mistral, Pablo de Rocka, Vicente Huidobro,and Nicanor Parra and a representative sample from the succeedinggroups and generations of poets who have gained public andcritical acclaim. The editors have devoted considerable space to thenew voices but not only to the best known among them and notjust to their most familiar poems. The aim has been, rather, toencompass the diversity of aesthetic and thematic interests.Chilean poetry is no longer limited to a geographical region. Theglobalization began with the events of 1973, which sent Chileans intoexile to the four corners of the earth, and it has been perpetuated andstimulated by the ever increasing facility of virtual communication. Thus,the anthology focuses not only on the multi-faceted poetry of Santiagoand the strong, majestic poetry of the South and the North of Chile, butit embraces also writings by established and emerging poets in Canadaand the United States, a product of the Chilean diaspora. Moreover, itseeks to reflect the various segments of contemporary Chilean poetry, such as that being written by women and indigenous poets.It has been said that the Spanish language is ideally suited to the creationof poetry. Here the editors have demonstrated that Chile occupies aplace of privilege in this endeavour and that its poets can be justly proud of their explorations among the possibilities of poetic language.

The anthology include names such Armando Roa, Armando Uribe, Ximena Troncoso, Gonzalo Rojas, Elias Letelier, Rodrigo Lira, José Ángel Cuevas, Sergio Badilla Castro, Jaime Gómez Rogers, José María Memet, Waldo Rojas, Alfredo Lavergne, Rosamel del Valle, Vicente Huidobro, Pablo de Rokha, Juan Antonio Ríos and many more.
