Synopsis "Windows That Open Inward: Images of Chile"

Windows That Open Inward: Images of Chile is a stunning collaboration of visions: the vision of a great photographer and the vision of a great poet. Windows That Open Inward is a mosaic of visual images fused with words that create a compelling image of Chile. Rogovin, a well-known photographer, journeyed to Chile in 1967. At Neruda's suggestion, he went to the island of Chiloe, in the south. Rogovin's visit was most fruitful. He came away with some extraordinary photographs, capturing the stark beauty of Chiloe and the unromantic life of its people. His portraits depict individuals and families and the tools and elements of their existence. There is a symbiotic relationship between Rogovin and Neruda, a common interest in and respect for the ordinary. Editor Maloney has selected a diverse cross-section of Neruda's poems to complement the photographs. White Pine Press is reissuing this classic to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the press.

Pablo Neruda (Parral, Chile, 1904 - Santiago, Chile, 1973), pseudonym of Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, was one of the most influential and recognized poets of the 20th century. His extensive work ranges from passionate romanticism to political and social poetry. Among his most celebrated books are Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, Canto General, and Residence on Earth. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971, his poetry has been translated into numerous languages and remains one of the most prominent voices in Latin American literature.
