Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino , now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you!"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.
(C) 1973 by Neruda & Walsh
