    <![CDATA[<strong>New Directions celebrates the Pablo Neruda Centennial.</strong>  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. <p> <em>The Captain's Verse</em>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.</p>]]>

At nineteen, I wasn't big on love poetry because I found it maudlin.
