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.

“...a magnifi cent poem
...with the language scaled
to the innermost,
Call me Noah occasionally owns
almost self-clarifying clarity.”
—Magnus Bremmer, Svenska Dagbladet

Reviews

"Bunker Anatomy is a witty treatise from the book’s beginning to its end. It is also an unwaveringly original work with a singularly unique voice. Deeply creepy, profound and perfectly cataclysmic.
- Viken Berberian, author of the novels "The Cyclist" and "Das Kapital"

"When I was a child I used to dream about a lady with snakes in her hair. After I grew up a little I learned her name was Medusa, and now that I have read Claro’s new book I know not only about the snakes she has on top of her head but also the ones she has inside her brain. I think sometimes they’re in mine too, and probably, if you’ve picked up this new Brian Evenson translation to read, in yours as well. The bloody, dark old Greeks may have invented her and her myopic cohort in obsession, Cyclops, but Claro reanimates them for our even darker, far more bloody selves. I’m glad, in a kind of wide-eyed-at-the-horrible-wisdom way this book is around to read. But I’m also glad I didn’t have to dream it. Claro did and he’s come back from the dark and deep to tell us."
- Rebecca Brown, author of The Gifts of the Body and Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary
