Title: Love Hound
Description: "Chilean poet Oliver Welden's volume Love Hound, written over 30 years ago and highly praised at the time, disappeared during the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and has recently resurfaced with power and artistry undamaged by the passage of time. Written three years before the military overthrow of the government by Augusto Pinochet, these poems offer concise but penetrating language that still resonates today. Opening with spare meditations on solitude, suicide and murder the volume then reflects on degraded familial relationships ending in a powerful evocation of the erotic. This bilingual collection offers an emotional landscape rarely seen in poetry."--Publisher's website.
