"Neruda's lyricism wakes us up, even in the face of death, to
the connections we have with our land, inner and outer."--"Los
Angeles Times Book Review"
The first authorized English translation of "Aun," considered
among Neruda's finest long poems.
More aware than ever of his imminent death, these 28
cantos--written during two intensely lyrical days--launch the poet
on a personal expedition in search of his deepest roots. It is a
soaring tribute to the Chilean people, their history and survival
that invokes the Araucanian Indians, the conquistadors who tried to
enslave them, folklore, the people and places of his childhood and
the sights and smells of the marketplace. As in the best poetry,
Neruda's particulars become profoundly universal. With an
introduction by William O'Daly.
