The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems by John Felstiner, Alastair Reid, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Pablo Neruda, Robert Hass, Stephen Mitchell, Mark Eisner, Forrest Gander, Jack Hirschman, Stephen Kessler
4.0

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.
