{"product_id":"inri-isbn-9781681372785","title":"INRI","description":"\u003cb\u003eA harrowing meditation on tyranny, torture, and freedom by one of Chilé's most celebrated contemporary poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRaúl Zurita’s \u003ci\u003eINRI\u003c\/i\u003e is a visionary response to the atrocities committed under the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. In this deeply moving elegy for the dead, the whole of Chile, with its snow-covered cordilleras and fields of wildflowers, its empty spaces and the sparkling sea beyond, is simultaneously transformed into the grave of its lost children and their living and risen body. Zurita’s incantatory, unapologetically political work is one of the great prophetic poems of our new century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis English-only edition does not include the poems in their original language.“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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“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 \u003ci\u003eINRI\u003c\/i\u003e asks without asking: what forms may avenge our avalanche of unjust deaths.” —Helen Dimos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"These poems arise into the English language as spirits of dissidence attesting to fascist violence whilst daring beauty.” —Verity Spott\u003cb\u003eRaúl Zurita\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1950) was born in Santiago de Chile. In 1973 he was  arrested by the Pinochet regime and imprisoned in the hold of a ship. He  was a founder of the group Colectivo Acciones de Arte (CADA), which  undertook extremely risky public-art actions against the regime. In 1982  five airplanes wrote his poem “La Vida Nueva” in the sky above New York  City, and in 1993 he had the phrase “NEITHER PAIN NOR FEAR” bulldozed  into the Atacama Desert in a permanent, two-mile-long installation,  visible only from above. Zurita received the Chilean National Prize for  Literature in 2000 and the Asan Memorial World Poetry Prize in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Rowe\u003c\/b\u003e’s \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e were published  in 2016 by Crater Press.
