Criticism • Some considered a portion of his work as not even poetry but ‘rhetoric and propaganda’ • Called the ‘Lorca or Alberti of Spanish America’ • He wrote “like breathing” but his style transformed over many years • Wrote “impure poetry” (a term which he coined) • An ‘obscure name’ in the United States • ‘Jumble of quality and perversity’
We Agree • A fair percent of his poems were ‘rhetoric and propaganda’ • He was the ‘Lorca or Alberti of Spanish America’ • Died with a high-volume of poems and transformation of style • He wrote “impure poetry” • ‘Jumble of quality and perversity’
We Disagree • An ‘obscure’ name in the United States
Conclusion • Despite the father of Neruda’s opposition in his sons writing, he had his first essay published at 13 • His mother died shortly after birth and his father was a railway employee • He died at 69 years old and with all his work collected together in published form the book had well over 3000 pages
