  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;New Directions celebrates the Pablo Neruda Centennial.&lt;/B&gt;  In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pablo Neruda's birth, New Directions is pleased to announce the reissue of a classic work in a timeless translation by Donald D. Walsh and fully bilingual. &lt;P&gt; &lt;I&gt;The Captain's Verse&lt;/I&gt;s was first published anonymously in 1952, some years before Neruda married Matilde Urrutia - the one with &quot;the fire / of an unchained meteor&quot; - to whom he had addressed these poems of love, ecstasy, devotion, and fury. Our bilingual edition is seen by many as the most intimate and passionate volume of Neruda's love poetry, capturing all the erotic energy of a new love.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Hard to review Neruda - you must experience it.  I love Neruda because he is so eloquent describing the most mundane of things in a beautiful and sensual way.  Poetry is especially appealing to me when I get too busy at work and do not have time to indulge in a book.  It only takes minutes to read a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29569932">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started the bilingual edition mostly to practice my Spanish. The Spanish I don't quite &quot;get&quot; yet, but in English it's incredible. Language sweeps you away. SWEEPS. He is totally accessible even if you are not generally into poetry. And lordy, it's sensual; reading it you believe that som...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37848237">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the best translations of Neruda's poetry, not losing the depth of feelings expressed when translated into English.  Neruda wrote these poems for his girlfriend and they explore the whole range of feelings a person experiences in a relationship.  Great, great book to read over and over...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6650311">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really the most beautiful use of language in the twentieth century (apologies to yeats). I got a lot of comfort just out of the sounds of the words as I read them - the meaning was almost secondary. If you're going somewhere to unplug or de-stress, this is the one to take with you.]]></body>
