Lawrence Hall’s Reviews > [Residence on Earth (New Directions Paperbook)] [Author: Neruda, Pablo] [July, 2004] > Status Update

Assuming this is the box for RESIDENCE ON EARTH, the poems are obscure. I'm wondering if the early poems, at least, aren't a the-emperor's-new-clothes joke.

If this is the box for SECOND WORLD WAR POEMS, these works from diverse sources - Eastern Europe, Japan, civilians, prisoners - are BRILLIANT. Thank you.
