  Southern Hemisphere Literary Review. When Ezequiel Arancibia and Juan Herring Lazo embarked on their publishing venture, their aim was not only to provide an alternative to History and Thought, but also a Chilean response to that journal’s Germanic thrust. As they saw it, History and Thought’s team represented German National Socialism, while the following they hoped to gather would represent Fascism. An Italian, aestheticist, swaggering Fascism in the case of Arancibia; while Herring Lazo espoused a Spanish, Catholic, Falangist, anti-capitalist Fascism in the style of Primo de Rivera. Politically, they were stalwart supporters of Pinochet, although they did not spare him their “loyal criticism,” especially in regard to economic matters. In literature they admired only Pedro González Carrera, whose complete works they edited. Unlike the Germanists of History and Thought, they did not disdain Pablo Neruda and Pablo de Rokha; indeed they made a methodical study of Neruda and de Rokha’s free verse, with its long lines and powerful cadences, and often cited the pair as exemplary practitioners of militant poetry. All you had to do was change a few names—Mussolini instead of Stalin, Stalin instead of Trotsky—slightly adjust the adjectives, replace a few nouns, and you had the ideal pamphlet poem, a genre they recommended as salutary given the historical context, although they never granted it the supreme place of honor. By contrast they loathed the poetry of Nicanor Parra and Enrique Lihn, which they considered hollow and decadent, heartless and despairing. They were excellent translators and introduced the Chilean public to the work of many lesser-known poets writing in English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Rumanian, Flemish, Swedish and even Afrikaans (a language that Arancibia taught himself, according to his friends, with the help of a good dictionary and three trips to South Africa). In the early days they tried to promote only artists with whom they had political as well as literary affinities, and aggressively dismissed all other schools of thought. They organized readings and literary events in the provinces, venturing to remote regions devoid of literary tradition, where the low rates of literacy would have daunted less enthusiastic men. They started the Southern Hemisphere Poetry Prize, which was won successively by Herring Lazo, Demetrio Iglesias, Luis Goyeneche Haro, Héctor Cruz and Pablo Sanjuán, among others. They tried to persuade the Chilean Society of Authors, of which they were members, to set up a pension fund for elderly and economically disadvantaged writers, an idea that, given the public’s indifference to the problem and the profession’s endemic egoism, never got off the ground. Arancibia’s literary opus is concentrated in three slim volumes of poetry and a monograph on Pedro González Carrera. His works in a broader sense, fruits of enthusiasm and boundless curiosity, include his legendary voyage through Europe and South Africa in search of the spectral Ramírez Hoffman. Juan Herring Lazo is the author of several poetry collections and plays that were variously received, as well as a trilogy of novels relating the gestation and birth of a new American sensibility based on love. In his final years at the helm of the magazine, he tried to open its pages to virtually all Chilean writers, but fell short of that aim. He was awarded the National Literature Prize. The third editor of the Southern Hemisphere Literary Review, Luis Goyeneche Haro, author of ten books of poetry which, viewed as a group, consist simply of variations on the first, tried to follow in Herring Lazo’s footsteps, with little success. Under his editorship the magazine went through its most mediocre phase. Pablo Sanjuán, a disciple of Arancibia and a committed fan of González Carrera, tried to change the magazine’s direction and steer it back towards the old ideals, while keeping it open to other voices and other ideas, which he sometimes took it upon himself to censor and deform, thereby sparking clashes and quarrels. He tried desperately to make friends, but enemies were all he ever had.
