neruda's odes to opposites capture beauty and deep meaning. he inspires us to compare thoughts, feelings and the real world against their foils. he's more than an imagination floating in space.

A gorgeous work,
By D. Vera "wondermachinedc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Odes to Opposites (Hardcover)
The Neruda poems are wonderful. I mean his work is usually stellar but these odes are among the most accessible. I was given this book a number of years ago on my birthday and consider it one of my most treasured books of poetry. The binding is exceptional. I appreciate having the poems in both Spanish and their (very good) English translation. But the standout for this book are the marvelous line drawings. There is a creative spark at work in this book and you are left knowing that it was a labor of love on the part of all involved. If you are looking for a book for the Neruda or poetry fan in your life (or yourself) you can't go wrong with this book. When I have pulled it out for readings people want to hold it and look at it. Its that beautiful.

I Love this book and I got it so quickly too! I ordered Neruda's "Odes to Common Things" at the same time from a different seller, and still haven't gotten it. Thank you for your quickness!
