Red Poppy is dedicated to promoting the power of Latin American poetry: the power to evoke emotions and foster social consciousness.
Our current priority is completing a groundbreaking documentary on the Chilean Nobel Laureate activist Pablo Neruda.
We are also creating a bilingual anthology of Latin American "Poetry in Resistance".
Please enter our garden to see what we are cultivating. We hope you’ll dig your hands into its rich soil and help us grow.
“From the Inca to the Indian, from the Aztec to the contemporary
Mexican peasant, our homeland, Ameríca, has magnificent mountains,
rivers, deserts and mines rich in minerals. Yet the inhabitants of this
generous land live in great poverty. What then should be the poet’s duty?”
- Pablo Neruda
