"Anti-Poetry: Parra's Poems" is a heavy collection of poems. It selects nearly 260 poems from eleven Parra's poetry anthologies, including "Poetry and Anti-Poetry", "Salon" and "After-dinner Speech", which fully demonstrates the creative ideas and creative process of "anti-poet" Parra. In this collection of selected poems, Parra laughs and scolds, using colloquial language to directly criticize the rigid concepts of traditional poetry and various shortcomings of modern society. He mocks the sun, the moon, the sea, rocks, religion, death, modernity, and even himself. His sharpness, humor, and sincerity impact the readers' hearts like a high-speed "roller coaster."
