Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair is a collection of romantic poems by 1971 Noble laureate of literature, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, first published in 1924 by Editorial Nascimiento. Neruda was 19 at the time the book was published, and this was Neruda's second published work after Crepusculario, but Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair is regarded as the work who made him a name as a poet.

I hated this experience and I guess I might have to read this collection again in the future to figure out if it’s any good or not.
