A poetry reading with Mapuche Chilean poet Jaime Huenún
In his first visit to Scotland, Jaime Huenún will read select poems from his poetry collections, the most recent being Fanon City Meu (2014), which places the Mapuche experience of colonisation in a global context. As well as winning a number of awards for his poetry (including the Pablo Neruda prize in 2003 for Puerto Trakl ), he has edited anthologies of indigenous poetry, and plays an important role in the recuperation of ancestral memory and the oral tradition through written literature in Latin America.
