Information
Pablo Neruda is almost as famous for his political activism as he isfor his eclectic, electric poetry. A Communist who held several governmental posts in his native Chile, Neruda was a staunch supporter of Radical Party presidential candidate GabrielGonzalez Videla and helped elect him to office. When Videla quickly turned against the Communist party, Neruda spoke out harshly against him. Fearing for his family’s safety, Neruda went intohiding for the next year, during which time the Communist party was banned from Chile. He remained in exile for three years and traveled throughout Europe, where he did a great deal ofwriting. He first became known for erotic poems such as “Tonight I Can Write,” but the masterpiece Canto General captures his range of ideas, concerns, and passions—from history andpolitics to nature and love.
1. Neruda was born Ricardo Eliecer Neftali Reyes Basoalto. He took his pen name from the Czech author Jan Neruda.
2. Although Neruda’s father opposed hiswriting interests, he persisted and had his first essay published at the age of 13
3. His Veinte Poemas, which includes the acclaimed poem “Tonight I Can Write,” was considered highlycontroversial because of its explicitly sexual nature. Neruda was only 19 years old when the volume it was published
4. Neruda was invited to speak at the International PEN Conferencein 1966 and, despite the fact that he was officially banned from the United States, he was granted a special visa to attend.
5. Chilean leader Pinochet tried to outlaw the public fromattending Neruda’s funeral, but thousands of people broke curfew and attended anyway. This is considered the first public protest against Chilean dictators
