Pablo Neruda Few writers are as integrally bound to a place as
Pablo Neruda was to the landscape of Isla Negra on Chile’s
coast. From his arrival there in the late 1930s to his death in
1973, Neruda captured Isla Negra in images fundamental to an understanding
of his work. It was, according to Martin Espada, at Isla Negra
where Neruda "in the company of his muse, walked alongside
the source of his most lyrical inspiration, the sea...and discovered
a new way of seeing, as the ocean became a living metaphor for
the infinite riches of the world." The poems, selected from
three volumes of Neruda’s work, are presented with photographs
of Neruda and his house in an attractive gift format. Nobel Prize-winning
poet Pablo Neruda, who died in 1973, remains one of the most influential
voices in world literature. 5 x 7 96 pages $12.00 1-893996-07-7
The House in the Sand Neruda’s poignant poems about his beloved
Isla Negra home reveal the landscape of the tiny fishing village
on Chile’s coast, as well as the affection he felt for his
home. “There is no insurmountable solitude,” Neruda
stated in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. “All paths
lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we
must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence
in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance
our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song...” It was
perhaps at Isla Negra, gazing at the sea, where Neruda saw that
enchanted place most clearly.
Few writers are as bound to place as Pablo Neruda was to the landscape and people of Isla Negra, his home from the late '30's until his death in 1973. These poems, gathered from a trilogy of books, celebrate Neruda's house, the people, the coastline, the sea, and its creatures in gifs that are fundamental to an understanding of his mature work. Pablo Neruda, the Chilean Nobel Prize winner, is regarded as the greatest Latin American poet of this century and was the subject of the recent movie, The Postman.

“poems are all about sea creatures: sea urchins, crabs, lobsters...and finally there is an ‘Adios de los productos del mar,‘ which is full of whimsical delight. This would make a splendid little gift...We hope that White Pine sells out the first edition and goes on to many more.” -Sipapu ISBN 1-877727-32-6 · 5 x 7 · 64 pages · $9.00 paper
WIndows
That Open Inward
This volume, a stunning collaboration between Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda and award-winning photographer Milton Rogovin, is a new, enlarged edition of a White Pine Press classic long out of print. In 1966, photographer Milton Rogovin wrote to Neruda and asked where he should go to capture the heart of Chile. Neruda suggested the island of Chiloe where, he said, “is wonderfuly untouched, poor and full of human interest.” Rogovin, whose work appears in many major gallery collections, traveled there in 1967 and produced the photographs in the book. Complemented by Neruda's glorious poems depicting the people and places of his homeland, the book pays homage to the vibrant and dynamic land so important to Neruda and his work.
