Jorge Teillier

Jorge Teillier was born on 24 June 1935 in Lautaro, in southern Chile. In 1956, the year of his first book, he appeared in an anthology of university poets. Alexis Candia places him in the generation of poets born around 1930, with Enrique Lihn and Armando Uribe. An essay he published in 1965 on the “poets of the lares” gave its name to so-called lárico poetry, turned towards childhood, the provinces and tradition. According to Candia, his family went into exile after the coup d'état of 1973. He died in Viña del Mar on 22 April 1996.
