Zurita creates a wonderful body of work that marks a point of no return for the poetics of the previous generation and for which he stands out among his generation.... --Roberto Bolano In brutal opposition to the pouring of libations into the earth for future good harvests, Pinochet's regime harvests humans and dumps them into the holes of the earth: the oceans and volcanoes. These deaths cannot be understood and this poem is not for understanding. Zurita's INRI asks without asking: what forms may avenge our avalanche of unjust deaths. --Helen Dimos These poems arise into the English language as spirits of dissidence attesting to fascist violence whilst daring beauty. --Verity Spott

"“Zurita creates a wonderful body of work that marks a point of no return for the poetics of the previous generation and for which he stands out among his generation....” —Roberto Bolaño “In brutal opposition to the pouring of libations into the earth for future good harvests, Pinochet’s regime harvests humans and dumps them into the holes of the earth: the oceans and volcanoes. These deaths cannot be understood and this poem is not for understanding. Zurita’s INRI asks without asking: what forms may avenge our avalanche of unjust deaths.” —Helen Dimos ""These poems arise into the English language as spirits of dissidence attesting to fascist violence whilst daring beauty.” —Verity Spott"

Because redemption is not possible in this world as it is, the murderers unconsciously betray themselves: in brutal opposition to the pouring of libations into the earth for future good harvests, Pinochet's regime harvests humans and dumps them into the holes of the earth: the oceans & volcanoes. These deaths cannot be understood and this poem is not for understanding. Zurita's INRI asks without asking: what forms may avenge our avalanche of unjust deaths. --Helen Dimos


Author Information

"Raol Zurita is one of Latin America's most celebrated and controversial poets. After Augusto Pinochet's 1973 military coup, his poetry sought to register the violence and atrocities committed against the Chilean people and the corruption of the Spanish language. During Pinochet's dictatorship, Zurita published a trilogy of books (Purgatory, Anteparadise, and The New Life), bulldozed poems in the Chilean desert, and helped to form the art collective ""Colectivo de Accion de Art."" Zurita was awarded the Chilean National Prize for Literature, a scholarship from the Guggenheim Foundation, in 2000. Essayist, poet, and translator William Rowe is an Anniversary Professor of Poetics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of several books on Latin American Poetry."
