Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda

5.0

This is a great edition of Neruda's first major publication. 20 short poems and a lament, each more intense than the last. I found the final two entries the most moving. The translations are excellent, and thankfully paired with the original Spanish (poetic translation is especially challenging, and I must admit scratching my head over some word choices).
