Coffee Musings - 022408

Here is a sample of books from my favorite poet. Copper Canyon Press fashioned a really nice series. It was very cool when I worked at an independent bookstore, because the proprietor gave me a very nice discount.

My favorite book of the ones shown is Fully Empowered, and the one I read the most is Isla Negra probably because it's so small and fits nicely in my bookbag. The first book I bought of Neruda's was a companion piece to a movie. I didn't like his poetry at that time, but I gave it another try, and boy did I try! He fits words together that normally would not make sense. The new combination expands the comprehensive limits of the reader, and inspires the reader to create new worlds of words, also.
