Thanks for posting this. Pablo has some really amazing ideas on poetry, love, and social justice. This is one of my favorite Neruda quotes:
You will ask why his poetry doesn't speak to us of dreams, of the leaves, of the great volcanoes of his native land?
Come and see the blood in the streets, come and see the blood in the streets, come and see the blood in the streets!
We are continuing his legacy of expression and social activism. If you want to find out more about Pablo, or his poetry, his political ideals, or how we are working to keep these things going, please check out the Red Poppy Website (http://redpoppy.net/pablo_neruda.php)!
