2000 - Pablo Neruda, translated by Richard Schaaf

In this collection, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda reflects on humanity at the threshold of the new millennium, confronting the destructive effects of technology, environmental decline and political oppression while holding onto the possibility of renewal. Originally published posthumously in Spanish as Dos mil, the poems combine political awareness with a broader meditation on survival, regeneration and the future of humanity. This bilingual edition presents Neruda’s poetry in Spanish alongside Richard Schaaf’s English translations, with an introduction by Fernando Alegría.
