About this ebook
“An epic artistic journey . . . filled with sorrows and joys and discoveries.” —Héctor Tobar, Los Angeles Times
Though he reached international literary stardom for his novels, Roberto Bolaño always considered himself, first and foremost, a poet. This volume unites more than three hundred poems, written from his youth to his final years, that probe the animating themes at the core of his oeuvre: literature, politics, exile, love, death. Audacious and sui generis, this collection reveals Bolaño’s full, extraordinary life in verse.
