Reviews"There are moments of bliss. Bolano had one of 20th-century literature's great dirty minds, and many of this volume's best lines are unpublishable here.... A handful of these poems are something akin to sly masterpieces.... The sound mostly makes is that of a promising young writer seeking his way in the world of words.... Bolano was hungry, this book reminds you, for just about everything." ", a new anthology of Bolano's poetry, reads like a series of fragments from a diary of this epic artistic journey. It's a book filled with sorrows and joys and discoveries as Bolano the poet takes up themes that are repeated often in his novels. For him, writers are men and women engaged in a sacred search, with poets the purest seekers of all. It's a pursuit that's all the more noble, given that Bolano knows that the immortality writers seek is unattainable." "It is his earliest work published in English to date, and fans of will hope to find in it some hints of what the real Visceral Realist poetry was like.... It is a testament to Bolano's fundamental artistic honesty that buried here, in his own long-lost notebook, we find Cesárea Tinajero's poem/drawing, written twenty years earlier. He was the master of smoke and mirrors, but he couldn't lie.", The Unknown University, a new anthology of Bolano's poetry, reads like a series of fragments from a diary of this epic artistic journey.

SynopsisPerhaps surprisingly to some of his fiction fans, Roberto Bolaño 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?" Bolaño 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 Bolaño'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.", Perhaps surprisingly to some of his fiction fans, Roberto Bolano touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which you become infinitely small without disappearing.
