Event Description : "Nicanor Parra, anti-poet" Round Table as part of 'Homage to Nicanor Parra' Series.

Synopsis : Round table about Nicanor Parra by some of the biggest specialists in Hispanic Literature from the Delhi universities.

About the anti-poet : Nicanor Parra Sandoval (San fabián de Alico, 1914) is a Chilean poet, 
mathematician, and physicist. He is considered an influential poet in Chile and throughout Latin America. Some rank him among the most important poets of Spanish language literature. Parra describes himself as an "anti-poet," due to his distaste for standard poetic pomp and function; after recitations he exclaims "Me retracto de todo lo dicho" ("I take back everything I said").
