The Poetry of Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda

I hate that I have to write this. Neruda's poetry didn't move me as much as I thought it would. His poetry is very similar to that of  Walt Whitman, who I also didn't particularly enjoy. I've read so many references to the beauty of Neruda's poetry, I just thought they would be painfully and beautifully romantic, but they were just regular poems. I did however enjoy a couple, but my favorite in this mammoth collection of poetry is one by the title of "Your Laughter".
