Jorge Teillier (Lautaro, Chile, 1935–1996) was a central figure of Chile’s Generación del 50 and the primary exponent of poesía lárica—a poetics of the hearth and homeland influenced by Rilke, East Asian lyric traditions, and the landscapes of southern Chile. In 1956, at just 21, he published his first book Para ángeles y gorriones, and went on to release a series of landmark collections—including Poemas del País de Nunca Jamás (1963) and Muertes y maravillas (1971)—establishing himself as one of Latin America’s most original lyric voices. Teillier remained in Chile throughout the Pinochet dictatorship, entering what he called “a time of roots,” living in semi-seclusion far from the capital. He died in 1996 and is buried in La Ligua under a gravestone that simply reads “Poet.” His books remain widely read and in print throughout the Spanish-speaking world. A newly-translated selection of his work is forthcoming from Song Cave in 2026.
