Charged with sensuality
and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are the most celebrated of the
Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images
and reveling in a fiery re-imagining of the world. Mostly written on the
island paradise of Capri (the idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning
movie Il Postino), Love Poems embraces the seascapes
surrounding the poet and his love Matilde Urrutia, their waves and
shores saturated with a new, yearning eroticism.
And when you appear
all the rivers sound
in my body, bells
shake the sky,
and a hymn fills the world.

Hello readers!
Are any of you still visiting my blog? lol
I have been terrible at writing up posts or remembering to do anything in the blog world. I had all the end-of-the-year and new challenges for 2018 posts all planned out, but *sigh* I forgot to write them...Oh well!
If you are still visiting my blog, thank you! I really do mean it. I just ask patience from the few of you that read my posts because life has really taken a hold of me. It's not bad. Life is just calling me all the time.
The first half of my first year of teaching was crazy, and I mean crazy! However, I am getting better at the hang of things now. I am also growing a lot as a person and my priorities have shifted. Yes, I still love my books and I love to blog, but the latter does not take as much precedence like it used to. I'll continue to blog but it won't be as often as I used to do. But I will post! I promise. So just keep your eyes peeled. :)
In the mean time, I hope that 2018 has been treating all of you well. I wish you tons of happiness and good health!
