La presente obra ha obtenido el Premio de Poesía correspondiente a 1994. I haven't read Bolano's prose yet. I started with his poetry because the author first considered himself a poet. I can say, having read and reread this book, that there were moments while reading this book when I felt like Salieri from the movie Amadeus. There is such raw talent and more than honesty coursing through these lines. There are disappointments, flirtations, jokes, and brutal acts waiting here. I highly recommend this as an inspiration to read Bolano's other work. I haven't read Bolano's prose yet. I started with his poetry because the author first considered himself a poet.

I highly recommend this as an inspiration to read Bolano's other work. Dreadful. The characters in Bolaño's novels write better poetry than this! The title of the volume is pretty apt. Rambling free verse descriptions of cheap hotel rooms and tawdry people, fraught with juvenile self-mythologizing in a "lying in the gutter looking up at the stars" style and sprinkled with ham-fisted high-culture references. There's no sign here of the maturity and moral nuance seen in the author's best novels, and there's absolutely nothing to admire technically. Obviously I did not like these poems.

"The Romantic Dogs, a bilingual collection of forty-four poems, offers American readers their first chance to encounter phenomenon Roberto Bolano as a poet: his own first and strongest literary persona. (When asked, "What makes you believe you're a better poet than a novelist?" Bolano replied: "The poetry makes me blush less.") These poems - intimate, moving, and witty, wide-ranging in form and length - have appeared in magazines such as Harper's, The Nation, The Threepenny Review, The Believer, Boston Review, Poetry, Soft Targets, Tin House, Circumference, and A Public Space."--BOOK JACKET.
