  Love

  by Stephen Tapscott, Pablo Neruda

  Poems from the Film Il Postino. The poems collected in this book are at the heart of the film Il Postino, a cinematic fantasy spun from an apocryphal incident in the life of the Chilean poet and Nobel laureate, Pablo Neruda. Together they show why many consider Neruda to be the finest love poet of the century.

  Pablo Neruda: Selected Poems (A Bilingual edition)

  by Anthony Kerrigan, Pablo Neruda

  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)

  I Explain a Few Things: Selected Poems

  by Ilan Stavans, Pablo Neruda

  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 .
