Love Poems

Pablo Neruda

3.98 AVERAGE

medium-paced

These were very cute love poems😭I love hearing people talk about the people they love fr and the many words you can use to express it for them and others to hear

Romantic slightly cloying poetic Volume..I love Pablo Neruda writing but I got abit bugged down in all the comparisons of women to fruit and wanting to eat them up... Maybe it was the translator, just ok, got a bit repetitive the way the collection was organized
dark emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

So beautiful. English translation just as good as original

I've never seen the film these poems are from, and I must admit I was largely unmoved by the last, long poem about the sea. But Neruda's writing on beauty, love, and intimacy is exquisite: 'the moon lives in the lining of your skin'.
