Roberto BolaÃ±o,Laura Healy
A deluxe edition of BolaÃ±o's collected poetry,Perhaps surprisingly to some of his fiction fans, Roberto BolaÃ±o touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which "you become infinitely small without disappearing." When asked, "What makes you believe you're a better poet than a novelist?" BolaÃ±o replied, "The poetry makes me blush less." The sum of his life's work in his preferred medium, ,The Unknown University, is a showcase of BolaÃ±o'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."
