It’s very exciting to get snail mail. Especially when it’s not a bill. And especially when it’s a package! Early last week we received a generous donation of books from New Directions, a publishing house based out of New York.

Books include:
The Captain’s Verses by Pablo Neruda
Love Poems by Pablo Neruda

By Night in Chile by Roberto Bolaño
Distant Star by Roberto Bolaño
The Insufferable Gaucho by Roberto Bolaño

These books are among the items that will be auctioned off at, you guessed it, Viva Chile.

READ MORE
Worth mentioning is the cover art for Neruda’s books. Both covers are by Rodrigo Corral, New Direction’s Creative Director at Large . The designs = awesome, so if you haven’t heard of Pablo Neruda (maybe you live under a rock?) or Robert Bolaño, then go ahead and judges these books by their covers, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks to Laurie from New Directions for the books -- mucho appreciated!

VIVA CHILE M**RDA

When news of the earthquake that occurred in Chile this past February first broke, my initial reaction was shock and panic. After getting in touch with family members, those emotions changed to concern and empathy towards the people that had been affected and I was moved to take action. Although it might seem like a challenge to help from over 5,000 miles away, there is much that can be done to help family, friends, and even strangers. Viva Chile is a way to do just that.

Viva Chile will be a night of art and music to help those that lost their homes during the earthquake. It will begin with a silent auction of donated Chilean art, followed by musical performances.

It is my goal to raise enough money to fund this event by asking you for just a dollar. And if you pass this along to your friends, it will make a difference.

For those who would like to contribute more, please check this post out and see what you can get! And if you would like to help out in any way, please don't hesitate to contact at vivachileprjct@gmail.com or via twitter @vivachileprjct.

Thanks and stay tuned for more info,
Natalia Moena
