Born in Chile on July 12, 1904, Pablo Neruda created romantic and
epic poetry as well as drama and prose that captured the essence
of America. His simple words inspired generations of lovers. He
gave voice to the common struggles of peasants, miners, factory
workers. His love for the Americas burst forth in images of the sea
and the flora and fauna.
Neruda was much more than a Nobel Prize winning poet. He was a
diplomat, an ambassador to France, a communist senator, a
candidate for the presidency of Chile, a political fugitive, the winner
of the World Peace Prize. His friends ranged from carpenters and
fishermen to Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, Gandhi, Che Guevara
and Salvador Allende.
Neruda was known as the "poet of the people", the voice for the
voiceless who fought passionately for social justice. “Poetry is an
act of peace,” he wrote. “Peace goes into the making of a poet as
flour goes into the making of bread.”
Neruda was the most prominent 20th century poetic voice of Latin
America, a man whose voice resonates to all our international
populations. Lover, political activist, the voice of the common man—
Pablo Neruda speaks to today's concerns and all people.
“I wish to say to the people of good will to
the workers, to the poets, that.…
only with a burning patience can we
conquer the splendid City which will give
light, justice and dignity to all mankind.
In this way the song will not have been
sung in vain.”
“Alguien me esta escuchando
y no lo saben,
pero aquellos que canto
y que lo saben
siguen naciendo
y llenarán el mundo”
“I render my thanks and return to my
work, to the blank page which every day
awaits us poets
so that we shall fill it with our blood and
our darkness,
for with blood and darkness
poetry is written,
poetry should be written.”
