«Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada» is the poetry collection by Pablo Neruda, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (96 pages, in Spanish).
The Chilean poet returns to youthful love and desire from memory: twenty brief poems that combine the light of surrender with the shadow of absence, and a final song marked by heartbreak. Neruda speaks of the beloved body, nature and lovelessness in a direct, sensual and musical language, between tenderness and melancholy.
The work was originally published in 1924; the present Spanish edition is from 2004.
For readers of romantic poetry and for those who wish to discover Pablo Neruda through this collection.
