RESIDENCIA EN LA TIERRA
Pablo Neruda
[* ] 1/2 Star.
This book is hard to fully get since vanguardists are wonky at best (which I tend to approve) but damn, his background makes me dislike the dude. I spent the whole class on a "what the heck? stop whining!" state of mind.
I'm a subjective person trying to get rid of her emotions so I can be somewhat of an objective adult here. I can't help but judge him though and I dislike the fact.
His writing may be quite good but his constant whining without taking any action, awful views on life and extreme communism make me want to punch him in the face. Repeatedly. With a brick. Fuck this book. Just really, fuck it.

*Required read for my Contemporary Literature exam since I can't graduate and move onto hopefully better things without a passing grade on it. Strong emphasis on required, I'm calling bullshit on life.

I've read about half of this collected works. Neruda will always be a favorite poet of mine.

This is a great poetry collection but not definitely not for beginner to poetry. There is a lot of surrealism and descriptive imagery in Nerudas poetry, which can be a hit or miss for people. Fortunately I really enjoyed his poetic style. I definitely got emotional reading this collection, especially part 3 as there is poems on the horrifying reality of war and it was definitely difficult to read. I would recommend this collection for sure, but just be aware that the content of some poems are difficult to process.

için seni,
nasıl göz korkutucu geliyor bana isimleri ayların,
nasıl yaslı bir davul sesi var kış sözcüğünde"
