Here is my favorite verse, from the poem "I don't love you as if you were a rose":
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close with my dreams."

4 stars.
This was a short taste of Pablo Neruda. I have been wanting to experience his poetry for a few months now, and I am impressed to say the least.
The specific to him, but wholly universal. It breathed the conflict within our history, regardless of where you call home. Neruda promotes that humanity can be heartbreaking and euphoric - not simply in romantic sense either.
I look forward to reading more of his work.

This was a quick listen but I enjoyed it a lot. There's something about these poems that were just so beautiful. I didn't connect with all of them, but most of them were wonderful.
A lovely sampling of Neruda poems including some about love and some about country and some about life. I picked this up after finishing A Long Petal of the Sea which told about Neruda's work to get Spanish refugees into Chile on a boat. It was the perfect pairing.

I hesitate to rate this because I read it as part of a genre challenge, and it is a genre I don't usually read I realise poetry is a huge subject, but if poetry is a language, it might as well be Double Dutch, and I don't speak it..
