About the Author:
Ludwig Zeller has been called the heir to André Breton. Born in 1927, in northern Chile, Zeller moved to Toronto at the time of the collapse of Salvador Allende's government, and currently resides in Oaxaca, México.
From Library Journal:
The contributors to this anthology of 20th-century Latin American poetry are not household names of the caliber or stature of Paz or Neruda. Even the most famous poet, Arguedas, is better known for his indigenista prose. The Mandragora, the Chilean surrealist group active between 1939 and 1945, sets the tone for much of the volume-in fact, a total of nine entrants from Chile are included, effectively snubbing important poets from other countries. All are translated capably if dryly by Zeller, except, ironically enough, those of her father, Ludwig Zeller, who selected the entries. The poets are not mainstream, their influence moot, and their heretofore relatively unknown status fairly understandable. For academic libraries only.
