Abstract

In the 1930s, Pablo Neruda’s Residencia en la tierra and his writing on the Spanish Civil War, together with Nicanor Parra’s fi rst book, Cancionero sin nombre, prompted changes in the relationship between the poet and his readers. The dazzling fi gure of Federico García Lorca –whom Neruda knew personally; Parra, through the reading of his “romances”– was decisive in this new relationship. More or less directly, Lorca paved the way for the public fi gure Neruda would become as a poet from 1936 onwards and also for the dramatic monologue which Parra would use in his opening book and which would later become a distinctive trait of his antipoetry
