He is often considered as one the greatest poets of the 20th century in any language. Pablo Neruda (1904 – 1973) wrote surrealistic poems, historical epics, political manifestos, a prose autobiography, and passionate love poems. See a sample below from each of these four poets: The three Spanish poets’ works were translated into English. Several beautiful works of these four poets were brought to life with music, audio-visual cinematography, and the fine choreography of the Latin Ballet’s Artistic Director, Ana Ines King. Poe’s poems were also recited by the Richmond Poe Museum’s Curator, Chris Semtner. The three featured Spanish poets, Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Alfonsina Storni wrote on sadness, shadows, self-reflection, and dreams, which were also themes that Poe also covered in his poetry. The production was a cooperative venture between the Latin Ballet of Virginia and the Edgar Allan Poe Museum () of Richmond. Last week I attended a wonderful performance of dance and music, focusing on Spanish-speaking poets who were inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.
