About This Novel

This book provides a unique and beautiful appreciation of the representative works of 19 poets. Neruda, Szymborska, Emily Dickinson, Rimbaud, Hesse, Rilke, Pushkin, Tsvetaeva... Through words and life, the author will lead us to a feast of poetry and emotion. Why did Neruda write "I like that you are silent, as if you disappeared" besides "wanting to do to you what spring does to the cherry tree"? What is the sad story behind Yeats's song "When You Are Old"? A poem, a poet's love and time, the memories and dreams of an era.
