description: A deluxe edition of Bolao's collected poetryPerhaps surprisingly to some of his fiction fans Roberto Bolao 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? Bolao 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 Bolao'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.
