Selected Works:

I have placed on this page three collections that I consider to be landmarks in Neruda's literary life. The following works illuminate the need for love in one's life and often parallel them with the preventative measures fate can bring about.

"Tonight I Can Write" is very widely-known among the Neruda-reading community, and you will find it here in the Twenty Love Poems section.

Another famous work listed here is "If You Forget Me," which is listed in The Captain's Verses under Desire.

I will try as time permits to include in this collection every title listed.
