[Poetry] Bolano, Roberto. Tres. New York: New Directions, 2011. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light crinkling to the top edge of the rear panel. Tres is a showcase of the author's willingness to freely cross genres, with poems in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. As the title implies, the collection is composed of three sections. "Prose from Autumn in Gerona," a cinematic series of prose poems, slowly reveals a subtle and emotional tale of unrequited love by presenting each scene, shattering it, and piecing it all back together, over and over again. The second part, "The Neochileans," is a sort of On the Road in verse, which narrates the travels of a young Chilean band on tour in the far reaches of their country. Finally, the collection ends with a series of short poems that take us on "A Stroll Through Literature" and remind us of Bolan~o's masterful ability to walk the line between the comically serious and the seriously comical.

[Poetry] Bolano, Roberto. The Unknown University. New York: New Directions, 2013. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with a closed edge tear to the heel of the spine. Roberto Bolano touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which "you become infinitely small without disappearing." The sum of his life's work in his preferred medium, The Unknown University is a showcase of Bolano's gift for freely crossing genres, with poems written in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. "Poetry," he believed, "is braver than anyone." This bilingual edition is 835 pages.
