Have you read Borges ? I had a weighty book with samples of his work. Unusual is almost TOO MILD to describe it.

Borges is incredible

Unfortunately, Borges is so prominent in narrative, that is underrated as a poet. His voice is also impossible to forget.

This is such a good point, exciting considering so much poetry is about the outdoors.

Also interesting to consider from a teaching perspective - I wonder if reading pretty outdoors would help it resonate with students better. Something to try...

Thans, Evan. Definitely something to try!

Reciting is also an art, and a good poet maybe is not his/her best reciter. Anyhow, poetry alive!

Thanks, Troy. All the credit goes to Sr. Neruda, of course.
