Abyss of Insanity

About the Book

Abyss of Insanity is a collection of poems with anti-poetic warp, with descriptive texts written in fragments to add rhythm and speed. Rich in images, it clearly represents the kind of poetry of the author. Recounts a moderate degree of retrospective nostalgia, showing passages and characters like a casual passerby that maybe wronged his path. That does not stop and does not interfere in the events. The author is only a makeshift photographer and opportunistic in his neighborhood every day, and why not, of its own existence. Without makeup the reality, he offers little stories in which not unlikely any of us were involved.

About the Author

Francisco Salinas Parra was born on a cold morning of July 1976 in Santiago, Chile. He is known in the literary environment as “Roman de la Parra”. Most of his life has been spent in his country, but some years ago he immigrated to Brazil where he spent a short time and currently resides with his family in USA.

Roman understands poetry to be a manifestation of everyday, and necessary. Therefore it should be simple and accessible to the understanding of everybody. That assessment should harmonize with the verses of the father of the Anti-Poetry Nicanor Parra “the poets came down from Olympus”.

Roman de la Parra portrays in his poetry environments and situations that we’ve all seen, recognized, and through which we stumble every day. He addresses poetry in a fun and often irreverent way, constructing their texts as a photo album, for which, he is the first to pose.
