''The Romantic Dogs'' (''Los perros románticos'' in Spanish) is a collection of poems by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. It was published in 2006. The bilingual edition, with English translations by Laura Healy, was published by New Directions in 2008. These 43 poems span nearly twenty years, from 1980 to 1998, embracing a wide variety of topics. Bolaño's obsession with detectives is evident in several poems, but the collection suggests other preoccupations, as in the poem "Godzilla in Mexico." ==The poems== * The Romantic Dogs * Self Portrait at Twenty Years * Resurrection * In the Reading Room of Hell * Soni * Ernesto Cardenal and I * Day Bleeding Rain * The Worm :A poem of a man repeatedly described as "a worm with a straw hat/ and an assassin's glare".〔Bolaño, Roberto.
