Description
Pablo Neruda's poems in The Captain's Verses are a celebration of his love for Matilde Urrutia, a passion that is also celebrated in the acclaimed film Il Postino. Originally published anonymously in 1952 to spare his second wife's feelings, this bilingual edition is the book's first publication in Britain.
The poems display all the qualities of vivid imagery, sensuousness, simplicity and passion for which Neruda's poetry is famous. Brian Cole's translations bring these qualities to life, offering a fresh perspective on the poet's work.
