Jorge Teillier

Jorge Teillier (1935–1996) was a renowned Chilean poet. He was born in Lautaro, Chile and passed away in Viña del Mar. He was influenced from a young age by writers such as Panait Istrati, Knut Hamsun, and Jules Verne, as well as Rainer Maria Rilke and François Villon. Teillier is known for his “laric” poetry, which is marked by a focus on myth, space and time that transcend the everyday, and a return to the earth, the landscape, and childhood. In 1965, he published Los poetas de los lares, the essay with which he founded the laric poetry movement, characterized by the search for a “lost paradise” in contrast to urban modernity. His major works include Para ángeles y gorriones (1956), El árbol de la memoria (1961), Para un pueblo fantasma (1978), and Cartas para reinas de otras primaveras (1985). His poetry, characterized by simple and nostalgic language, explores uprootedness and turning back to an idealized past.
