2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-30-2004; weak neruda; Now I like Neruda. I think he is an important poet, and I fully expected to love this collection. But as I read it I found that I didn't really like any of the poems. There were a few that were almost passable, but only a couple. I don't...; read full review | report as inappropriate
