Love: Ten Poems
Love: Ten Poems | Pablo Neruda
5 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
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. Few writers of any age have described the pleasures and torments of erotic love with such un-sentimental directness and sensual precision. Here, too, we find Neruda at his most accessible, the language of his odes and lyrics refined to the point at which it achieves, in critic Jean Franco's words, "the naturalness of song." This short selection draws on work from throughout his writing life, from the famous early collection Twenty Love Songs & a Song of Despair (1924) to the key works of his maturity, Residence on Earth (1935), Elemental Odes (1954) and the autobiographical Memorial de Isla Negra (1964). It offers an enticing glimpse of one of modern poetry's greatest masters.

National Poetry Month: Day 29! 📖❤

Out of the Neruda poems that I've read, this has always been my favorite. In fact I've even used it in a couple different fan fiction stories that I've written in the past! Don't even ask. It's just as cringey as it sounds! 🙊🙈😂
