By Theresa R. Stojkov and Teresa Stojkov

This book introduces the reader to the poetry of Jorge Teillier (Chile, 1935-1986). commonly referred to as 'poesie larica' (poetry of the lar or hearth), Tellier's poetry looks to the countryside, to familiar domestic objects in the provincial home, and to the folklore of an illusive past as a way of restoring meaning to individual existence.
