Los versos del capitán = The Captain's Verses, Pablo NerudaPablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, finished writing The Captain's Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri--the paradisal setting for the blockbuster film Il Postino (The Postman). Surrounded by sea, sun, and Capri's natural splendors, Neruda addressed these poems to his lover Matilde Urrutia before they were married, but didn't publish them publicly until 1963. This complete, bilingual collection hasI love Neruda, but will someone please make an announcement that his poems aren't really appropriate to be read in wedding ceremonies? (Unless the groom is a philandering possessive romantic, which probably shouldn't come out at the wedding, anyway.) And while spreading the word about Neruda, please mention that black and white are both inappropriate dress colors for guests (and mothers of the bride or groom, for that matter).
Only Neruda writes about love as an act of resistance.

Love, a questionhas destroyed you.
Well, holy crap. That was beautiful.
OMG, what do I say about my favorite male poet? "If little by little you stop loving me, then little by little I shall stop loving you." Those are his words I have lived by in one of my favorite poems Iloved for years. I have learned Spanish thru these beautifully cascading poems. And it is wonderful to find a person with whom you feel you can share these treasured and wise poems.
Is Pablo Neruda the greatest poet in any language of all time?I dunno, maybe - he's definitely a solid contender, that's for sure.
