Twenty Love Poems and A Song Of Despair

by Neruda- Pablo/ Merwin- W S

First published in 1924, Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada remains among Pablo Neruda’s most popular work. Daringly metaphorical and sensuous, this collection juxtaposes youthful passion with the desolation of grief. Drawn from the poet’s most intimate and personal associations, the poems combine eroticism and the natural world with the influence of expressionism and the genius of a master poet. This edition features the newly corrected original Spanish text, with masterly English translations by award-winning poet W. S. Merwin on facing pages.

Includes twelve sketches by Pablo Picasso New introduction by Cristina García A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition pacjaged with French flaps
