Poems by Pablo Neruda. In anecdotes full of joie d'esprit, Chilean writer Poli Délano recounts childhood experiences during the time he and his diplomat parents lived with Nobel Prize–winning poet Pablo Neruda in Mexico. One of Neruda's poems follows each chapter, but the poems are too sophisticated for the book's audience. While this memoir is full of charming and candid detail, it's best suited to those already familiar with Neruda's work.
