Conclusions

From the Paper
"Neruda compares himself, and all of us really, to the image of a root. He lives in the dark and feeds on what is all around him, going down further into the darkness of ignorance while life above is out of control. He feels blind and he wants to see and recognize the mess that has been made of the world).This poem shows that Neruda was starting to consider his poetry as a means to influence and a way to expose people to issues that we all face together and that he was moving away (at least temporarily) from topics that were more comfortable to write about (love, women, beauty etc.)."

Abstract
This paper discusses five poems extracted from the book, namely: "Homecomings," "A Dog Has Died," "The Lost Ones Of The Forest," "The Ocean Calls," and "Many Thanks." This paper analyzes each poem and discusses what underlying message each poem has for the reader. At the end of the analysis, the researcher establishes the stance that Pablo Neruda's poems deeply reflect an individual's emotional struggles, and Neruda voices out this feeling by personifying nature, making them almost life-like, and lets them participate and bear witness to these struggles. This thesis is also supported through an evaluative study of the poems, through a reflection and analysis of the content and flow of though of the poet.

From the Paper
"The book "Winter Garden" is a collection of poems that were found and published after Neruda's death. Pablo Neruda, a pseudonym for Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, is a Chilean poet who is known for his poems that evokes political and social contemplation. He is also a Marxist, and always extends his massage (through his poems) the unjust treatment and struggles of hid fellow Chileans as they try to achieve social freedom and equality. In his collection of poems in the "Winter Garden," it is remarkable that much of the poems contemplate emotional struggle or turmoil, while depicting or associating these struggles with nature or any element in the environment.

Abstract
This paper provides information regarding Pablo Neruda's life as a poet, and determines his major influences in his famous works. The paper provides a critical analysis of three poems extracted from Neruda's latest volume in poetry, entitled, "Winter Garden." This analysis provides and supports the main thesis of this paper, that being, Pablo Neruda's poetry is influenced mainly by his experiences while in exile from his homeland, Chile, his affiliation to the Communist Party, and his being a great believer for social equality and reform.

From the Paper
"Pablo Neruda is one of the most renowned poets not only in Latin America, but also from across the globe as well. English and American poets have long dominated the world of poetry, and Neruda was among the few literary writers who broke this trend. Neruda has achieved various achievements and great endeavors thru his exceptional work in poetry. One great achievement that was given to him was the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he received in 1971. Pablo Neruda's work in poetry mainly uses social reform (ideas influenced because of his being a Communist), his suffering during his exile from Chile, his motherland, and his love for Chile as its main themes."

From the Paper
"Pablo Neruda: Cien Sonetos de Amor
Pablo Neruda was born on July 12, 1904 in Parral but was raised chiefly in Temuco (Pring-Mill xvi). Christened Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basualto, he adopted the name "Pablo Neruda" out of fear his father would blame his poetry for his poor grades in math (Pring-Mill xvi). Pring-Mill argues Neruda's poetry was influenced profoundly by his childhood in southern Chile, as demonstrated by the range of natural objects that supplied Neruda's imagery (xvi). In addition, the geographical background of his life took on a thematic importance in his later poetry as he began to use it as the substructure for his view and interpretation of the world (Pring-Mill xvi).

Neruda's first poem was published when he was fourteen years old. While at the Liceo de Hombres of Temuco, Neruda worked for.."

From the Paper
"Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971. His particular passion is love poetry. In his early poetry, he was given to the use of nature imagery and wrote in a personal way characterized by a melancholy view of the world and a preoccupation with unrequited love. In later works, he moved more into surrealism, employing a freer style and surreal imagery. One of his most celebrated works is also the culmination of his move into surrealism--Residence on Earth in 1933. The poems in this work are anguished and filled with despair, structured on surreal images of nature. The attitude expressed in the poems may have been the result of the poet's own sense of loneliness at the time.

Surrealism is a movement in literature and in the arts which began with a manifesto. The movement originated in France in the ..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and critiques three poems about three different kinds of loss. The poems are "Tonight I Can Write" by Pablo Neruda, "Bethlehem" by Nathalie Handal, and "Blue Aura" by Gail Wronsky.

From the Paper
"There are all kinds of loss such as the loss of a pet, a cherished dream a loved one or love itself. Each loss brings about different types of grief in varying degrees in different people. In some cases the expression of that grief and loss sometimes in poetry or song is what helps to heal that grief and loss. Poets have often been the ones who use those feelings of loss for the writing of their poetry."

Abstract
This essay provides an analysis and interpretation of Pablo Neruda's poem "Tonight I Can Write ..." which was published in 1924 in a collection of poems by Neruda titled "Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Cancion Desesperada." The paper discusses the speaker's inability to communicate despite his anguish, and mentions the conflicting ideas and feelings that are presented. The paper asserts that the speaker is clearly crippled by the loss of his lover, and until now has been unable to express his feelings on this subject. The poem concludes with the speaker's final acclimation that he will no longer suffer under the unbearable pain of her loss, because he has finally been able to express himself.

From the Paper
"The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the poem: dejected and melancholy, but still a small feeling of relief. "Tonight I can write the saddest lines" is the speaker's declaration that he is no longer inhibited by the debilitating feelings that had previously stopped him, but is still experiencing the extreme feelings of this loss. The repetition of the opening line three times throughout the poem is used to reinforce and emulate the sad and desperate state of the speaker so that the reader can empathize. Neruda plays on the reader's feelings by using their ability to empathize with the desolate sadness of lost love. The universality of lost love is one of the most important themes to this poem because it allows a wider audience to be affected. The poem does not contain a regular meter; Neruda rarely rhymes, but attains rhythm through a mixture of consonance: "recurrence of the same or like sounds," and assonance: "resemblance or correspondence of sound between two words or syllables" (Oxford English Dictionary). The poem is written in stanzas of two lines except for the opening line and the third stanza and almost every line ends in a period. These short, staccato style sentences demonstrate the speaker's reluctance and inability to elaborate into great detail each encounter with his lost lover because of the great personal pain it causes. Only one specific encounter is actually described in lines 7-8 where he and his lover and holding each other beneath the stars kissing. All the other encounters are described on an emotional level and are connected with nature."
