In the winter, when I'm away from the ocean, I read these poems and remember how it feels to sit on the sand for hours and watch the waves. Beautiful poems, beautiful illustrations. tygerlilli | Sep 19, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060591846, Hardcover)On the Blue Shore of Silence celebrates the centenary of the birth of Pablo Neruda, one of the most widely read and best-loved poets of the twentieth century. Although anthologies of Neruda's works abound, On the Blue Shore of Silence is the first to collect some of his poems on the sea. At times passionate and at other times peaceful, the poems chosen for this collection -- presented in bilingual format -- are meant to offer readers the experience of what it would have been like to sit with Neruda at Isla Negra, the view of the sea endless, the pulse of the waves, eternal. With English translations by his favored translator, Alastair Reid, and stunning paintings from the artist Mary Heebner, On the Blue Shore of Silence is a new cornerstone in Neruda's body of work, expertly weaving together poet, artist, and reader.
