Welcome to Red Poppy, where we are dedicated to promoting the power of Latin American poetry: the power to inspire and move emotions, the power to foster social justice.
Our current priority is the completion of a groundbreaking, dynamic documentary on the Chilean activist poet Pablo Neruda.
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
