The Unknown Neruda
Very few Nobel Prize-winning poets leave a body of work which remains untranslated into English more than 40 years after their death. Yet this is the case with the great Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda - that is, until the publication of this bilingual edition. Neruda's very early poems - joyous, innocent, anguished - written in his teens when he was finding his voice, have been unjustly neglected. These late-adolescent experiments are often characterised by a poignant dialogue between hope and despair, reminiscent of the Nicaraguan poet, Rubén Darío, who would remain a life-long influence. A number of Neruda's later books have, for various reasons, been overlooked or dismissed as mediocre, when they actually include some of Neruda's most beautiful poems. The Unknown Neruda finally makes amends. The vast majority of the poems in this fascinating collection have never appeared in English before. Neruda's acclaimed biographer and translator, Adam Feinstein, takes the reader on an illuminating and profoundly moving journey through Neruda's poetic development - from solitary childhood, via maturity and worldwide fame, to his tragic final months, and even beyond the grave. It is a journey that mirrors the events of the poet's extraordinary life.
Then Come Back
This stunning collection gathers never-before-seen poems, found by archivists in boxes kept at the Pablo Neruda Foundation in Chile in 2014. Neruda is renowned for poetry that casts away despair and celebrates living, fired by his belief that there is no unsurmountable solitude. Then Come Back presents Neruda's mature imagination and writing: signature love poems, odes, anecdotes, and poems of the political imagination. Translator Forrest Gander beautifully renders the eros and heartache, deep wonder and complex wordplay of the original Spanish, which is presented here alongside full-colour reproductions of the poems in their original composition on napkins, playbills, receipts, and in notebooks. Then Come Back: The Lost Neruda simultaneously completes and advances the oeuvre of the Nobel Laureate. Discovered during the cataloguing of Neruda's papers, there are 21 poems in all, together with detailed notes about how they relate to his published work.

The most comprehensive English-language collection of work ever by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century--in any language" (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) "In his work a continent awakens to consciousness." So wrote the Swedish Academy in awarding the Nobel Prize to Pablo Neruda, the author of more than thirty-five books of poetry and one of Latin America's most revered writers, lionized during his lifetime as "the people's poet." This selection of Neruda's poetry, the most comprehensive single volume available in English, presents nearly six hundred poems, scores of them in new and sometimes multiple translations, and many accompanied by the Spanish original. In his introduction, Ilan Stavans situates Neruda in his native milieu as well as in a contemporary English-language one, and a group of new translations by leading poets testifies to Neruda's enduring, vibrant legacy among English-speaking writers and readers today.
