Summary: Simply the Best
Comment: Buy this book and hesitate to read - all other poetry afterwards will pale in comparison. Then buy a copy of Neruda's autobiography to understand how Neruda can 'write the saddest lines'. I have given Twenty Love Poems and a song of Despair more frequently than any other gift. The perfect Valentine's or anniversary gift.

Summary: A writer that makes me want to learn Spanish
Comment: I have always been thankful that English is my first language, for I would hate to read a translated version of a Shakespeare play. Neruda (and perhaps Gabriel Garcia Marquez) is one writer that makes me wish I could read Spanish, for as amazing as his poems are in the translated English (and the are amazing), they must be pure and unabashed magic in their original language. Neruda is able to write on emotions that we occassionaly feel, and often long about, but can seldom work into spoken (yet alone written) words. By far, my favorite in this book of poems is Number 20, which has come to be known as "Tonight I Can Write..." Only after losing the love that I thought would last forever did the words "Love is so short, forgetting so long" sincerely ring true. Neruda's poems in general are amazing, and his ability to capture human emotions is remarkable.

Summary: forgetting this book will be long
Comment: "I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long." What a way with words Neruda has. I used these lines to write to a boyfriend who was breaking up with me, and this poem expressed my sentiments like I never could. Each poem in this collection is a gem, and if you have never read Neruda, run don't walk to the 'Add to Shopping Cart' button. You won't regret it.
