"This is pure Neruda at his prime, which is to say
incomparable."-"Choice"
""The Separate Rose" represents Pablo Neruda at the peak of his
art, and William O'Daly has done an important service by bringing
it before American readers with such care."-"The Bloomsbury
Review"
The coast of Easter Island-the most isolated inhabited island in
the world-is adorned with gigantic and miraculous stone statues.
Neruda made a single pilgrimage to Easter Island during a poignant
time in his life-he was dying of cancer and taking his life's
inventory. Out of this journey grew a sequence of poems that
alternate between "Men" and "The Island," through which Neruda
observes the latest remnants of the ancient world in direct
opposition to modernity. With an introduction by William
O'Daly.
