Last June 23^rd while celebrating The Spanish Day (E Day) in the library there was an activity about Nicanor Parra poetry. He was 98 yesterday.

As you can see in the pictures, the activity have involved direct contact with the public. We have made available an anthology of poems and antipoems to the public though a curious and original format, a collection of postcards. The aim then was to share these poems with friends and family via mail.

If you couldn’t be here we still have more postcards available in the library.
