Neruda had a fascinating life, if you Google him you will see more poetry and his very passionate love poetry and if you read Spanish it is even better. There is a recording of Hollywood stars reading his poems and my favorite is Madonna reading one in her throaty voice.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-2157867954307631262012-04-16T19:28:21.571-07:002012-04-16T19:28:21.571-07:00Thank you for the introduction to Neruda.

When I taught high school in LA I had many Mexican/American students and I searched for authors and poets who had Spanish surnames to share with my students so that they would become familiar with Latino /Latina authors. Pablo N's poetry is in Spanish and my book had Spanish on one side and the translation in English on the opposite side. I had my students read the Spanish and then the English. That's how I first found Pablo Neruda.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-39155895924923859812012-04-16T16:57:28.661-07:002012-04-16T16:57:28.661-07:00The wonderful thing about the A-Z challenge is fin...The wonderful thing about the A-Z challenge is finding interesting new bloggers--and also, learning something new.

It is built like a ship with many nautical features and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. I believe he and his wife are buried in a plot by the side of the house.cquinn819https://www.blogger.com/profile/13848102393654731655noreply@blogger.com
