About this item
Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda explored many schools of thought, poetic styles, and voices, but his passion lay in finding and improvising upon basic rhythms of perception to reveal unspoken and unspeakable truths. Copper Canyon Press has published seven volumes of Neruda's poetry. Six volumes were translated by William O'Daly and one volume of poems was translated by James Nolan "William O'Daly's introduction, The Improvisational Spirit of Pablo Neruda,' is an excellent discussion of Neruda's later poetry, much of which was published after his death. O'Daly's translations capture both the spirit and the feeling of the original and this volume is thus an extremely worthwhile addition to collections of contemporary poetry."-ChoiceOther titles by Pablo Neruda available from Consortium:The Book of Questions (Copper Canyon Press), 1-55659-041-5 PB 1-55659-040-7 HCCeremonial Songs (Latin American Literary Review Press), 0-935480-80-3 PBNeruda at Isla Negra (White Pine Press), 1-877727-83-0 PBNeruda's Garden (Latin American Literary Review Press), 0-935480-68-4 PBThe Sea and the Bells (Copper Canyon Press), 1-55659-019-9 PBThe Separate Rose (Copper Canyon Press), 0-914742-88-4 PBStill Another Day (Copper Canyon Press), 0-914742-77-9 PBStones of the Sky (Copper Canyon Press), 1-55659-007-5 PB 1-55659-006-7 HCWindows That Open Inward (White Pine Press), 1-877727-89-X PBWinter Garden, (Copper Canyon Press), 0-914742-93-0 PB 0-914742-99-X HC .
