  The Dreamer

  by Pam Munoz Ryan, Peter Sis

He loves to collect treasures, daydream, and write--pastimes his authoritarian father thinks are for fools. Against all odds, Neftali prevails against his father's cruelty and his own crippling shyness to become one of the most widely read poets in the world, Pablo... (more)

  Selected Poems

  by Pablo Neruda, Anthony Kerrigan

  In his long life as a poet, Pablo Neruda succeeded in becoming what many poets have aspired to but never achieved: a public voice, a voice not just for the people of his country but for his entire continent. Widely translated, he probably reached more readers than any poet in history; justly so, for, as he often said, his 'poet's obligation' was to become a voice for all those who had no voice, an aspiration that... (more)

  Yellow Heart

  by Pablo Neruda

  In the introduction to this bilingual volume, the translator reminds us: "Neruda spent the last forty years of his life making himself dangerous with his poetry." But here, Neruda at his playful and irreverent best. Whether writing a celebration, allegory, lament or self-parody, the poet declares the strong sense of an improvisational spirit. Highlighted as "Essential" by Library Journal .
