  • Pablo Neruda - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Pablo Neruda - poems - Publication Date: 2011 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Pablo Neruda(12 July 1904 – 23 September 1973) Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean poet and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. He chose his pen name after Czech poet Jan Neruda. Neruda wrote in a variety of styles such as erotically charged love poems as in his collection Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language." Neruda always wrote in green ink as it was his personal color of hope. On July 15, 1945, at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, he read to 100,000 people in honor of Communist revolutionary leader Luís Carlos Prestes. During his lifetime, Neruda occupied many diplomatic positions and served a stint as a senator for the Chilean Communist Party. When Conservative Chilean President González Videla outlawed communism in Chile in 1948, a warrant was issued for Neruda's arrest. Friends hid him for months in a house basement in the Chilean port of Valparaíso. Later, Neruda escaped into exile through a mountain pass near Maihue Lake into Argentina. Years later, Neruda was a close collaborator to socialist President Salvador Allende. When Neruda returned to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Allende invited him to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people.

  • Read the Stanza 2009 Lecture [PDF]
    HOMECOMING By Jay Parini First, let me say that I’m delighted to be here. And I don’t mean, like George Burns, that at my age I’m delighted to be anywhere. St. Andrews is home to me -- I spent seven crucial years in this little town at a very crucial point in my growing up years -- and the subject of this talk is “homecoming” in the broadest sense. I’m going to look at this subject from a literary viewpoint and a personal view, theoretically and practically. In a sense, there is no greater – perhaps no other – subject. Harold Bloom, that great anatomist of Romantic and modern literature, once suggested that all romance is about the journey home, in the manifold ways that we can interpret that phrase. In his essay “The Internalization of Quest Romance,” he looks at ways that various poets – from Milton and Wordsworth, Blake and Shelley, through Yeats and Stevens – have conceived of this journey. The pattern of the journey is quite simple, and – in its essential form – it follows the course laid out by Joseph Campbell in his groundbreaking book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Campbell writes about what he calls the “mono-myth,” the archetypal story that lies at the base of all narrative, and involves a hero (or heroine – Campbell wrote his book in 1946, when gender considerations played little or no part in his thinking). This hero ventures forth, called by mysterious powers to undertake a journey. This journey may, often is, the journey through adolescence into adulthood. Initiation rituals are part of this journey – we’re all familiar with such rituals, especially those of us who have spent a good deal of time in institutions of higher learning.
