From A los habitantes del País de Nunca Jamás (To the Inhabitants of the Land of Nevermore) (1953-1970).Poems from Muertes y maravillas (Deaths and Wonders) (1953-1971) Introduction: 'From the Land of Nevermore: On the Poetry of Jorge Teillier' by Carolyne Wright.Avoiding the bravura effects of some of his contemporaries, Teillier writes from a life lived directly and simply, returning time and again in his poetry to the timeless and mythic South of his boyhood, the 'Land of Nevermore.' This English-Spanish bilingual anthology now introduces English-speaking readers to Teillier, with a representative selection of his best work from all phases of his career.Ĭarolyne Wright has translated poems from the volumes Muertes y maravillas (1971), Para un pueblo fantasma (1978), and Cartas para reinas de otras primaveras (1985). Reared in the rainy forests of Chile's 'La Frontera' region which had nurtured Pablo Neruda a generation earlier, Jorge Teillier has become one of Chile's leading contemporary poets, whose work is widely read in Latin America and Europe along with the poetry of his well-known contemporaries Nicanor Parra and Enrique Lihn. But if we are patient one day they will answer us with a poplar leaf trapped in a broken mirror, with a flame that suddenly revives in the fireplace, with a dark return of birds before the glance of a girl who waits motionless on the threshold.' 'In order to talk with the dead you have to know how to wait: they are fearful like the first steps of a child.
