The night I received this book I went to a Leonard Cohen party where we listened/sang/played to his songs. He has some incredible lyrics. We talked about what a poet he is. The next night I was done with my dinner and my husband was still eating so I picked up the book and started reading to him. About the third page or so I suddenly burst into tears and just could not continue. The words of Odes to Common Things are so simple and so true and hit me right in the solar plexus. I highly recommend it.

Odes to Common Things Bilingual Edition Pablo Neruda Ferris Cook Ken Krabbenhoft 9780821220801 Books Reviews

I think this book should not be labeled as “VERY GOOD CONDITION" while the cover is damaged like this.
Beautiful edition of a must-have book
A really lovely book and of good quality. It is a nice edition for a book collector such as myself.
This collection of poems is beautiful. Neruda's words capture the quotidian beauty of life and love. The format of the book, with English on one side and Spanish on the other, lends itself well to readers who can understand most but not all of the poem without translation. The binding is beautiful and makes a great gift.
This is a great book, refreshing and entertaining. And it made me think about things that had never occurred to me before. I recommend it highly.
Buy this book. Just do it. When you read it, allow yourself to appreciate the simplest things. This is an exercise in mindfulness. In doing do, you will become better at it, and this honed skill will overflow into your life at large. This poetry is exquisite. You can find so much serenity and calm by sitting with these poems. Each one is a glimpse into spirit actualized, and the ability to recognize and feel gratitude for the beauty that exists in all things.
The physical book and its contents are both exquisite. I have bought this collection twice once for myself, and once to give as a gift. The poetry in this volume is the kind that makes you walk through the world with greater appreciation for the things all around you that you take for granted, like socks and tables and soap. Each ode to an everyday object is accompanied by two pencil drawings of that object.

I have read some more famous translations of a few of the poems in this volume that I liked better than the ones collected here, but unless you are giving this to a die-hard Neruda fan, the differences will be unnoticeable.
