Love poems in Spanish and English, presented side by side

This dual-language edition gathers Neruda’s early collection of twenty love poems alongside “A Song of Despair,” pairing the original Spanish with W. S. Merwin’s English translation. The format makes the book useful both as a poetry collection and as an opportunity to compare a translated poem with its source text. An introduction by Cristina García adds context to the volume, while the compact 80-page paperback keeps the focus on the poems themselves and their sustained engagement with love and despair.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Latin American poetry in translation
  • Spanish-English bilingual readers or students comparing texts
  • Poetry readers seeking a compact collection centered on love and despair
