Elias Letelier (Santiago, 1957- )
by Ampersand
During the dictatorship, Elias Letelier worked to establish the External Resistance Fronts in Southern Santiago (ADA) in preparation for the Chilean popular uprising. During that time, he directed over 80 literary workshops with Chilean workers.
He left Chile in November 1981 and served as Director of El Siglo (The Century News). From 1981-1983, he worked as Human Rights Commissioner at Maritime University in Canada, and as correspondent for various news publications. Letelier co-founded FEWQ (Federation of English Language Writers of Quebec) and the Network of Friends and Family of Chilean Political Prisoners.
More recently, he has worked as the literary editor of Poetas.com (the electronic and paper cooperative publishing house of the Anti-imperialist Poets of Latin America) and as a cultural advisor to several newspapers and magazines.
