Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair
by Pablo Neruda
I’ve encountered Neruda’s name many times. More specifically with “Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines”, but since I only to read this for my contemporary global literature course I didn’t have a chance to read his whole collection until now. Reading poetry in Spanish makes me feel closer to my roots, but I wanted to make sure that when I did read something in Spanish that it was actually good. Not just a poem initially written in English and translated into Spanish. Maybe I romanticize the language too much, but how could I not? Neruda gives me more a reason too, and it’s beautiful.
