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
emotional inspiring slow-paced

I'm very hit and miss with Neruda. I don't really enjoy most of his poems, but the ones that hit hit very hard. From touching love poems to powerful political pieces to celebrations of the simple, his best works are some of my very favorites, and this collection is as good as any other I've found.
