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."
