But something must sprout,
grow, beat among us:
we must leave deeply rooted
the new tenderness in the world.

Sometime last week I realized I had misread one of the Book Riot Read Harder challenge tasks. I thought it said, "Read a book of poetry on a theme other than love," and I realized it said, "Read a book of poetry in translation on a theme other than love." Luckily, the library had a copy of this Neruda book ready for me.

My copy looks like a pastel porcupine from all my tabs noting my favorite phrases and poems. This collection felt particularly timely and profound in light of our current political climate.
