«Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada» is a poetry collection by Pablo Neruda, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together twenty poems plus a final song that trace love in different stages: surrendered desire, the beloved's absence, and the anguish of separation. Written in Neruda's youth, it departs from modernism and heralds tones of his later poetry; critics regard it as a classic of contemporary love lyric.
Edition by Gabriele Morelli, number 621 in the Letras Hispánicas collection. This Cátedra edition was published in 2008, and the work originally appeared in 1924.
Aimed at readers of poetry and Latin American literature, as well as the general public interested in Spanish-language classics.
Pablo Neruda was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature. Neruda became known as a poet when he was 13 years old and wrote in a variety of styles, including surrealist poems, historical epics, political manifestos, a prose autobiography, and passionate love poems such as the ones in his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair (1924).
