3. Poetry : My favorite Neruda is Canto General , his retelling of Whitman’s America but covering the entire hemisphere. A masterpiece. Estravagario is excellent and while I haven’t read Residencia de la Tierra , it is considered another one of his classics. The love poems are very nice though perhaps not his best material. In any case he is one of the three or four best poets of the twentieth century. Gabriela Mistral is talented but I cannot say I love her work.
