The Collected Poems of Roberto Bolano

A majestic, visionary and life-spanning collection of poetry from the first great classic writer of the 21^stcentury, Roberto Bolano.

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 unique, this collection reveals Bolaño’s full, extraordinary life in verse.

‘An epic artistic journey . . . filled with sorrows and joys and discoveries’ Los Angeles Times

‘Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia . . . and his writing was always unparalleled’ Mariana Enríquez
