#29 - Ah, finally some Neruda with his love that makes us hopeless
In this episode I read Pablo Neruda's "Your Breast is Enough" from his poetry collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. This collection is exactly what the title suggests. It is an intimate collection, bordering on eroticism. Neruda was 20 years old when he published this book. Each poem in here reads like a lament for a girl who isn't around anymore, certainly not in the poet's life. And he has found 20 different ways to tell her that she is unforgettable. Spoiling generations of people with his poetry, making being love sick fashionable, presenting here -Pablo Neruda. Listen in! The poem I read today is from the book copy I own. Ask me nicely, and I will still not share.
