A collection of poems titled China Roja (Red China) by contemporary Chilean poet Pablo de Rokha (1894-1968) was recently published in Spanish. On Nov 19, an online book launch was held in Chile.
The collection highlights 20 poems which were all created during the poet's six-month visit to China in 1964.
The Chinese version, named Ode to Beijing, was previously published by The Writers' Publishing House in 1965.
It's the first time that the poems have been published in Spanish language in Chile.
