I come from the southern rains and the monosyllabic exchanges of the cold lands. Typescript of the address of poet Pablo Neruda's 1904-1973 to the Facultad de Filosophia y Educacion at the Universidad de Chile upon his appointment to the university in March 1962. This is a discursive and wide-ranging contemplation of Chilean authors Mariano Latorre and Pedro Prado the question of influence and the history of Latin America and its place in the world. In resonant cadences Neruda singles out the clarity of Latorre and "his great wish to turn us towards the ancient essence of our land" while noting that for the taciturn adolescent it was the directness and "conversación" of Prado "the joyous maturity of his understanding of nature his perennial philosophical rambling made me comprehend the possibilities of association or society the expressive ccommunication of intelligence". Neruda quotes an extended passage from La Joie Rousse of Appolinaire and mentions the wandering nature of the poet's profession and the powerful emotion he felt when saying his poems in remote mining camps slums and before the longshoreman's union to see the audience of workers listen attentively. Many poets and writers are mentioned Garcia Lorca during a discussion of the creative process as well as Rimbaud and Baudelaire. He talks of seeing the first car and the first airplane in his youth and notes that the world has changed and so his poetry has changed. "Yo soy un patriota poético un nacionalista de las gredas de Chile" I am a patriotic poet a nationalist of the clay of Chile. Neruda turns to world affairs: "En America latina temblaron los tiranos. Cuba proclamó su inalienable derecheo a escoger su sistema social" In Latin America tyrants tremble. Cuba proclaimed its inalienable right to change its social system. A substantial and powerful essay. Pablo Neruda was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1971. unknown

rif. 309433Santiago Chile: Editora Nacional Quimantú 1973. First trade edition. 210 4 pp. 12mo. Original wrappers printed in green purple and pink. Creasing to bottom edge of a few pages very good. In custom folding chemise and morocco backed slipcase. First trade edition. 210 4 pp. 12mo. Neruda's final book of verse inscribed in green ink to two renowned Chilean painters and fellow leftists: "Salud! a José Balmes y Gracia Barrios Pablo Neruda 1973 Isla Negra." An outstanding association copy of one of Neruda's most controversial works. A polemic on behalf of Salvador Allende's Unidad Popular party ahead of Congressional elections in March of 1973 "Incitement to Nixoncide and Praise for the Chilean Revolution" was prompted by US attempts to undermine the Allende government in favor of pro-US business elements inside Chile. As Neruda explains in the prologue to the poem cycle in translation: "My song is a tough attack on the enemies of my people as hard as Araucanian stone. This may be an ephemeral function. But I am fulfilling it. And I am resorting to the oldest weapons available to poetry: song and pamphleteering used by the classics and the romantics with the aim of destroying the enemy. So stand firm I'm about to fire the first shot!" Allende's government was toppled nevertheless by a US-backed military junta headed by Augusto Pinochet in September 1973. See Feinstein Pablo Neruda pp. 392ff for more on the political context in which the book was written. The Chilean painters José Balmes 1927-2016 and Gracia Barrios b. 1927 were active in Unidad Popular politics at the time of this inscription. In the same year Balmes created a series of works "Imaginarios del Canto General" based on texts from Neruda's epic "Canto General." Their relationship began decades earlier however: born in Catalonia Balmes arrived in Chile with 2200 other refuges from the Spanish Civil War in 1939 aboard the SS Winnipeg; a rescue mission which Neruda as Special Consul for Immigration personally orchestrated. For an interview in which Balmes recalls first meeting Neruda as a 12 year-old immigrant see: http://www.latercera.com/noticia/un-nino-y-el-poeta-las-memorias-de-jose-balmes-a-bordo-del-winnipeg/ "Incitación al nixonicidio" was also published by Quimantú in a limited edition of 1000 in the same month as this first trade edition. Neruda died in September 1973. Editora Nacional Quimantú unknown
