Neruda: The Poet's Calling.
New York: Ecco Press, 2018. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy with a tiny remainder dot to the top edge in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Neruda: The Poet’s Calling is the product of fifteen years of research by Mark Eisner, writer, translator, and documentary filmmaker. The book vividly depicts Neruda’s monumental life, potent verse, and ardent belief in the “poet’s obligation” to use poetry for social good. It braids together three major strands of Neruda’s life—his world-revered poetry; his political engagement; and his tumultuous, even controversial, personal life—forming a single cohesive narrative of intimacy and breadth.
