A lot of
Chilean people think Pablo Neruda is the best poet ever. When they say “Chile,
country of poets” in general they are thinking in Neruda or Mistral, our two Nobel.
I think this is a horrible mistake. First because Chile is not the earth of
poets anymore; second, because we are not considering the prose; and third,
because Nicanor Parra has been forget.



Once I read
an interesting interview of Parra. The woman gave him an old wine and took his
door. He obviously accepted the wine and let the woman came in. More than ask
him something of his work, I like to have a conversation all day with Parra. I
don’t want to ask I only want to hear. I could give him a wine as a present, a
whisky if he prefers. But yes, exists a question, I want to know how he forget
to a lover, how he can be a happy man.
PARRA POWER.
