Review: Love Poems by Pablo Neruda


Image result for love poems pablo neruda
Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images and reveling in a fiery re-imagining of the world. Mostly written on the island paradise of Capri (the idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning movie Il Postino), Love Poems embraces the seascapes surrounding the poet and his love Matilde Urrutia, their waves and shores saturated with a new, yearning eroticism.

And when you appear

all the rivers sound

in my body, bells

shake the sky,

and a hymn fills the world.

Hello!

Hello readers!

Are any of you still visiting my blog? lol
I have been terrible at writing up posts or remembering to do anything in the blog world. I had all the end-of-the-year and new challenges for 2018 posts all planned out, but *sigh* I forgot to write them...Oh well!

If you are still visiting my blog, thank you! I really do mean it. I just ask patience from the few of you that read my posts because life has really taken a hold of me. It's not bad. Life is just calling me all the time.

The first half of my first year of teaching was crazy, and I mean crazy! However, I am getting better at the hang of things now. I am also growing a lot as a person and my priorities have shifted. Yes, I still love my books and I love to blog, but the latter does not take as much precedence like it used to. I'll continue to blog but it won't be as often as I used to do. But I will post! I promise. So just keep your eyes peeled. :)

In the mean time, I hope that 2018 has been treating all of you well. I wish you tons of happiness and good health!
