The Captain's Verses
Author(s): Pablo Neruda
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Pablo Neruda's birth, New Directions is pleased to announce the reissue of two of his classic works in timeless translations: Residence on Earth and The Captain's Verses, both translated by Donald D. Walsh and fully bilingual. The Captain's Verses was first published anonymously in 1952, some years before Neruda married Matilde Urrutia - the one with "the fire / of an unchained meteor" - to whom he had addressed these poems of love, ecstasy, devotion, and fury. Our bilingual edition is seen by many as the most intimate and passionate volume of Neruda's love poetry, capturing all the erotic energy of a new love.
Product Information
I know that one day we will go back to Isla Negra, that Pablo's people will enter through that door and will find in every stone, in every leaf, in every seagull's cry, the always-living poetry of that man who loved them so much.
