My favorite writer is Nicanor Parra

Hi Classmates!, today I’m gonna talk about my favorite writer.

I think my favorite writer is Nicanor Parra, he is a chilean author, autodefined as a anti - poetist, because he try to make a break with the tradictional poetry.Nicanor Parra is part of a family very influential in the field of the culture and arts, his sister, Violeta Parra, was a multifacetical artist, related especially with the folklore, Eduardo Parra, musican and  folklorist,  Roberto Parra, dramatist, etc.  In the last days Nicanor Parrra has been mentioned in the mass medias, and some institutions has organized events about his work, because of the centenary of his birth.

I think he is my favorite because I met his work wen I was very young, my father that is a exited reader of Parra showed me some writings, and in that moment I felt very confused and surpresed with his work. What  I like about Parra is his iconoclast style,great creativity and capacity to breack with all the previus dogmas.
I think that muy favorite of Parra is Poemas y antipoemas,  I think it is a book that produced a important cut un the Chilean an hispanoamerican poetry, this established the fundation of the anty-poetry.


thanks for reading

  4. Yesterday I went to a exposition about Parra in the GAM. I hate the GAM, but I recommend you to visit the exposition, it has a lot of photographs of him. My favourite poem is "Manifiesto" :)
