A review by sunrequiem
The Poetry of Pablo Neruda by Pablo Neruda

4.0

whew, i feel like i just finished an encyclopedia. this man is so human i think he feels more than i do, or at least he's better at putting it in words than i am, so that i become more sensitive to my condition. he's also incredibly versatile and talks about things from love to the history of the spanish conquest to nixon and watermelons. i also didn't know i had the ability to continuously read such a thick compilation of poetry - normally it's in smaller bursts, but now i have more confidence to do the same to other poets that i've had a taste of. wouldn't read again simply because there's no time, but it would be a treat to open up to a random page once in a while and take in what's there. i'm glad i own this.
