Summary: Fr: S. to Z.
Review: These works were introduced to me in my first years of college. The words at the time did have meaning but not as they should compel someone to share with another. In the Winter of 99 I was given a chance of something very wonderful. Scared and Confused i threw caution to the wind. When I found that you had no poetry in your life, the words of Neruda immediately came rushing back like an old forgotten song that moves your feet and makes you hum. I immediatley had the thought of Neruda when you told me that and I knew that you should read these works. I wanted you to find meaning in those words the way I had. I had never been so moved to want to share that book with anyone. I gave you the poetry you desperatley needed and hoped it would open your heart and show you the beauty of words. I'll never know if it worked but at least you have the words of what love is to evoke form someone. I only think of this because I was going through some old junk I stumbled across my old worn copy, I sat and read a few lines and thought about you and if you ever pick up the same book and have the same thoughts? I smiled and felt an emptiness I had never felt before. I remeber sitting with you and the you eyes lit up wen you read the words of sonnet #17. I hope your life will always be filled with poetry when you think of me and that Christmas we shared.S.

Summary: If you buy one book, this has to be it
Review: This book has served many purposes for me. It was a Valentine's Day present for my fiance (then my boyfriend of 3 months). I chose a poem to read at our wedding. I read it for pleasure. I read it to renew my interest in Spanish. I recommended it to everyone and anyone. Neruda's poetry is nothing short of astounding. This book is perfect, since a lot of people prefer love poetry if they do not normally read poetry. It has the Spanish version on one side of the page, and the English translation on the other. The poems range from touching to angry to erotic to mournful to playful. Neruda's descriptions will make you look at the world with new eyes. Neruda is one of the only poets I have come across who approached love like Shakespeare: with a variety of emotions and perspectives. Another refreshing thing is that Neruda is very passionate and worshipful of women, never spiteful or cruel. His poetry is also very personal, as much of it seems to be directed toward his wife. Buy this to find a perfect poem for a reading or speech. Buy it as a gift for a lover or loved one, or a romantic friend. Please, just buy it to have on your library shelf, for your friends and your children to pick up and discover.

Summary: 100 Love Sonnets
Review: This book more accurately describes a committed love than any other I've read. Paublo's sonnets to his wife are not just frothy words of adoration, but a real opening of his heart about the person who brings him the most pain and pleasure. This book of poems can be appreciated not only by poetry fans, but by anyone who's ever loved.
