Poetry International Participates in Upcoming Tribute to Pablo Neruda

October 23, 2012
The World Poetry Movement has called on all its members, poets and organisations to conduct a worldwide poetic event honouring Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. This event will take place next week on Tuesday, 30 October 2012, with simultaneous poetry readings, lectures, films and more.
As the WPM states in its press release, the life of poet Pablo Neruda “was the testimony of a dream in action, of an active utopia that did not rest a single day of his public and private life. He was at the forefront, defending life through the dignified, universal voice of his poetry, always changing, always moving and attentive to the vicissitudes of everyday life.” 

Here at Poetry International, we will be taking a look at the impact Neruda’s work has had on poetry worldwide. Whether or not you are already familiar with his work, we hope you will take this opportunity to get to know Pablo Neruda a little better.
