tbh it was cute but the 20th poem (i think thats the one) made me feel some stuff lol

Dos amantes dichosos no tienen fin ni muerte,
nacen y mueren muchas veces mientras viven,
tienen la eternidad de la naturaleza.

Si no hubiese escrito una monografía de seis páginas sobre Neruda habría escrito algo acá. So yeap, eso.

Necesito que alguien me ame como Neruda amó a quien le escribió el poema 20

(Reading Neruda on Valentine's Day? Groundbreaking.)

He wrote not only about the happy kind of love, but also the sad kind. But he wrote every poem in this collection with heart-rending emotions and beautiful words. It's divine.

3.75
emotional fast-paced

I've never read something so magical

First impression: wow these are really bad!
I do plan to re-read each poem again and try to interpret each verse, but first read was disappointing and I found the poems to be juvenile and with very poor word choice. There was only one poem out of 20 + one song of despair that I enjoyed.

good but i feel as if much of the beauty and meaning of the poems is lost in translation. favorite poem was probably poem XX, “Tonight I Can Write”

era la sed y el hambre y tu fuiste la fruta
