The essential site for the scoop on Nicanor Parra:

AND THE BEST DAMN NEWS I HAVE HEARD SINCE I SAW BACK OFF, ASSASSIN! ON THE LEAKED LONGLIST FOR THE 2010 GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD FOR POETRY:
VOLUME 2 OF THE COLLECTED WORKS OF NICANOR PARRA HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED IN SPAIN. It is reputed to include a significant quantity of previously unpublished material since 2006! As soon as I know more, I'll let you know...
For some reason the sites links failed to appear (darn blog technical stuff!)
