I'm on a never ending quest to find poetry that works for me.

So pungent and harrowing. Poems that'll make you recall and reimagine the ones you fantasized, the punitive love affairs and heart-shattering breakups.

I've recorded an audiobook, just so that I can listen to my voice in sorrow and pain under natural unfiltered circumstances:

Definitivamente, la poesía no es para mí.

Neruda era, sin duda, un gran poeta y autor, pero yo no he logrado sentir lo que intenta transmitir en estos poemas. Solo dos de ellos me han transmitido algún tipo de sentimiento y son los dos poemas más famosos de esta antología, así que supongo que son los dos que hacen sentir algo a todo el mundo.

Le doy tres estrellas porque, objetivamente, no me parece justo darle una mala puntuación a un libro simplemente porque no me gusta el género. Subjetivamente, le daría una estrella.

Seguramente, los amantes de la poesía lo disfruten.
