false111675After three years backpacking through Latin America from Cuba to Patagonia I found spiritual communion with the Chilean Nobel Laureate and pacifist activist Pablo Neruda... In 2004, Neruda's Centennial, my heroes at City Lights published my baby, ”The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems” which is now the bestselling book of Neruda's translations in the States.
"What better way to celebrate the hundred years of Neruda's glorious residence on our earth than this selection of crucial works - in both languages! - by one of the greatest poets of all time. A splendid way to begin a love affair with our Pablo or, having already succumbed to his infinite charms, revisit him passionately again and again and yet again." -- Ariel Dorfman, Pulitzer-prize winner
Please consider buying it for yourself and all your friends through redpoppy.net a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to furthering Pablo Neruda's commitment to humanitarianism, using art and literature to enrich, empower, and engage, enabling progressive social change (more info on the book there.)
I'm also working on a documentary and a bio that W.W. Norton will publish, both entitled "Pablo Neruda: The Poet's Calling" Check out redpoppy.net for more info on the project and how you can help, joining our red poppy garden. gracias]]>36maleChile06/200711/2009http://www.uvm.edu/~tescaja/), Lawrence Ferlinghetti and all City Lights' titles, William Blake who was one of the first to really help open my d]]>488584true5756889read0true225867currently-reading1true225866to-readTwenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair: Dual Language Edition (Paperback) by Pablo Neruda]]>
