«Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada» is the poetry collection by Pablo Neruda, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1924, this poetry collection addresses youthful love between fullness and loss. Neruda combines modernist heritage and avant-garde in verses of intense emotion, with nature, eroticism and melancholy; the tone moves from the enthusiasm of encounter to the sadness of farewell. The work is a reference of Latin American love poetry.

For poetry readers and students of Latin American literature seeking a study edition of one of Pablo Neruda's most widely circulated poetry collections.
