Full Woman, Fleshy Apple, Hot Moon

Pablo Neruda's poems are vivid descriptions full of passion and life. In this collection, translated by Stephen Mitchell he writes pages of odes. Odes to the most unusual things: onions, a rooster, salt, ironing, even an ode to the book. Each one filled with words that paint the perfect picture. His simple but beautiful language makes the poems easy to read. Beautiful word pictures on the surface, but scratch beneath and the poems have much more meaning than one could have imagined! '
