Cover of The Book of Questions

Published after Neruda's death, this late collection is made up almost entirely of questions, over three hundred of them, arranged in short poems. They are playful, strange and tender, asking about time, nature, love, death, childhood, and the odd workings of the world. There are no answers offered, only wonder. The book is easy to dip into and shows the imagination of an older poet who still looked at everything with a child's curiosity.
