This selection brings together some of the poet’s most vibrant works, in which he celebrates life and the earth’s joyful gifts—including The Fruits of the Earth, The Wine, Ode to the Conger Eel Broth, Ode to the Tomato, and Ode to the Lemon, to name a few. These poems exalt the flavors and aromas of the sea and the soil, reflecting Neruda’s profound joy of living.
