Raúl Zurita: INRI

January 17, 2019 by Trevor Berrett

Raúl Zurita’s INRI is a powerful volume of poetry that makes the sea, mountains, rivers, deserts, and fields of Chile a tomb for the disappeared of Pinochet’s reign. The sky is the tombstone. It’s a stunning book, coming to us now in a translation from the Spanish by William Rowe.
