	PARRA. Visual artifacts
		I COME and GO Nicanor Parra, the most world renowned living Chilean poet and one of the most prestigious writers in the Spanish language, presents publicly for the first time the practical totality of his visual works, one which poses an original criss-crossing of words, images and objects.
		Parra’s proposing the idea of the "visual artifact" consists of a series of poems accompanied by images in which an advertising slogan – symbol of Western culture’s consumerist culture- is slated to its very roots.
		Nicanor Parra (1914) was born in Chillán, Chile, where he did his elementary and high school education.

	Parra, Nicanor Criticism and Essays
		Parra is known as the founder of antipoetry—a term coined by the poet to describe a form of poetry that rejects the notion of the poet as a prophet and rejects the belief that verse holds some sort of mystical power.
		Parra's work has influenced like-minded poets, although of the Chilean poets of his generation, he is the only one to have established a genre.
		Parra has won numerous literary awards including the City of Santiago prize in 1937 and 1954, the Writers' Union prize in 1954, the National Literature Prize in 1969, a Guggenheim fellowship in 1972, and the Juan Rulfo prize in 1991.

	[No title]
		We shall eliminate the colors of the poncho and the brilliant silver of the spurs; we shall hear the calling of the singers and individualize the words; we are left with the turbulence that maintains the fire of the "Cueca" dancer behind the pallid front, the lock of fl hair and the killing eye.
		Nicanor Parra, as he himself would say in "Poemas y Antipoemas," carries together the angel and the beast which are the characteristics of the Chilean earth.
		The images of Parra are concrete, but not precisely logical, yet instead absurd and full of consciousness of sin, of failure, of the emptiness that soon is transformed into a cold bitterness and, particularly, into a strange wrath, a fury which, in general, explodes in attitudes and words of self- destruction.

	Nuestro.cl / It's Parra's turn
		Nicanor Parra will turn 90 years of age next September the 4th, and will celebrate the important date, in part, with an exhibit that has been organized by the Pablo Neruda Foundation, with 90 pictures of never-before-seen photographs of his life and plastic work (his "artifacts").
		"90 parras per year" is the name of the exhibit that was inaugurated with the songs of Lalo Parra (his brother).
		Some of Parra´s most important works, such as "Artifacts" and "Homilies of the Christ of Elqui", were written at the Neruda house, in Isla Negra.

	[minstrels] Young Poets -- Nicanor Parra
		Parra studied mathematics and physics at the University of Chile in Santiago, at Brown University, Providence, R.I., U.S. (1943-45), and at the University of Oxford.
		Although Parra later renounced his first book of poetry, Cancionero sin nombre (1937; "Songbook Without a Name"), his use of colloquial, often irreverent language, the light treatment of classical forms, and his humorous tone in that volume presage his later antipoetry.
		Its tone of dissatisfaction is intensified by the use of prosaic language, cliché, and ironic wordplay.

	Poetry of the Sneeze: Thomas Merton and Nicanor Parra.
		Parra’s idea was to strip away the superficial trimmings of poetry, its poetic language, and to present language heard in its reality.
		Parra was not attempting to write something immoral, but to speak to ordinary people with a voice that they could understand.
		Parra’s approach came from his mathematical, relativist background, where he used the minimum language possible and avoided metaphors and literary figures so as to speak directly to his readers.

		Parra is for poetry what the WWF is for entertainment: it is raw, crass and, as people say, "in your face".
		Parra takes (knowingly or unwittingly) Derrida's concept of differrance and uses it to sledge hammer away his words into his `antipoems'.
		Between Miller Williams' original selected and Parra's visit to New York City in the Sixties, this poet made an indelible impression on so many United States poets who recognized that Chile was not a world away and that Parra was a fellow "American." and, be assured, "anti-poems" ARE poems.
