The book was written just after he had returned to Chile after many wanderings and moved to his beloved Isla Negra on the Pacific coast. The collection celebrates this coming to rest, this rediscovery of the sea and the land, and the evolution of a a lyric poetry that is decidedly more personal than Neruda's earlier work. Written in what he called his autumnal period, the sixty-eight poems range from the wistful to the exultant, combining psalm and speculation, meditation and humorous aside.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A smart little book that one can happily welcome into the family and allow to start growing old." --<i>Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Pablo Neruda</b> (1904-73), one of the renowned poets of the twentieth century, was born in Parral, Chile.
