Today I will talk about my favorite Chilean poet. His name is Gonzalo Rojas. This poet was born in 1916 and he died a few years ago (in 2011). He studied law and literature in the University of Chile, he was a teacher to.  He was recognized for his work in all Latin American, and he was awarded with the national literature prize (in 1992), Cervantes prize (in 2003), and others, but I think, Rojas deserved nobel prize for literature.  

I think his poetry is extraordinary, is very beauty and simple though sometimes is complicated to. I love his poetry because, with simple words through his poetry, Gonzalo Rojas express and transmit many emotions.

Rojas wrote about many things in his work, for example, about politics, about life, about love and  heartbreak, even about silence or darkness. So, his work also has a lot observation about the thing of life and environment. He died in his 98 years, was considered an influential poet for Latin American, also, his poetry has been translated in many idioms.

My favorite poems of him are “Al silencio” “qué se ama cuando se ama” “Retrato de mujer”, and many others really…
