Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair: Dual-Language Edition by Pablo Neruda
3.0
Not sure how to rate this one... the poetry itself was good but throughout the book ran a frankly disturbing theme of glamorizing women's silence, stillness, and absence (as opposed to you know, agency and a voice). Also super overplayed descriptions of the male fantasy of a woman's body ("slender" and "white-hilled". Yawn.)
