matt777's review
4.0
A lyrical foray into Latin American identity, The Heights of Macchu Picchu explores nature, indigeneity, and death—and the spaces between them. Delicately written with Neruda's usual tenderness, this poem commands aesthetically vivid verse that sinks one's feet firmly into the Andes, and draws the them closer to Neruda's heart. Perhaps repetitive at times, the poem still manages to masterfully illustrate a forgotten history and breathing continent. Neruda is yet to let me down.

I have enjoyed many of Neruda's poems in the past, but this book-length poem was not to my taste, unfortunately.

Give me silence, water, hope.
Give me struggle, iron, volcanoes.
Fasten your bodies to me like magnets.
Hasten to my veins to my mouth.
Speak through my words and my blood.

there's no one in the world like neruda. i'm left speechless.
Give me struggle, iron, volcanoes.
Fasten your bodies to me like magnets.
Hasten to my veins to my mouth.
Speak through my words and my blood.
