A simple vista
A simple vista reúne los poemas fundamentales de Enrique Lihn: un autor tan versátil como brillante de la literatura chilena. Poeta sentimental y reflexivo, crítico y mordaz, en sus clásicos monólogos o en sus últimos poemas cuando ya era desahuciado por la enfermedad, su voz se erige rotunda e insoslayable, marcando a tantos y tantas jóvenes en su ingreso a la literatura. Con esta selección vuelven a circular poemas esenciales, de la mano de las virtuosas ilustraciones realizadas por Natalia Babarovic, quien logra reflejar el espíritu Lihneano en toda su magnitud.

About the author
Enrique Lihn
71 books97 followersEnrique Lihn Carrasco was a Chilean poet, playwright, and novelist. The son of Enrique Lihn Doll and María Carrasco Délano, he married Ivette Mingram and they had one daughter: Andrea María Lihn Mingram, an actress.
Born in 1929 at Santiago, Chile, Lihn aspired to be a painter but after a failed attempt during university, he abandoned that dream to pursue writing. Lihn proceeded to develop into a poet, playwright, and novelist. He taught literature at the University of Chile. Lihn views both the past and the future as forms of death, and his emphasis on this point is evident throughout his literary works. His work revolved around his contempt for the contemporary dictatorship, as Chile was governed by a military junta. Works layered with social, political, and religious commentary are common throughout Lihn's canon. His final book, Diario de Muerte was written in the six weeks preceding his death from cancer in Santiago, and the evening before he died, he corrected the proofs.

Brevísima selección de algunos poemitas del gran Enrique Lihn. En pie de poesía, rabiosamente tierno. Mi favorito: Nada tiene que ver el dolor con el dolor.
