This suite of thirty poems is Neruda's last love song to the Earth. When
he wrote these poems he was dying of cancer, and as the title suggests
he addresses not ordinary stones, but cosmic ones: stones that reconcile
immobile permanence and the clarity of spiritual flight. When the poet
meets his crystallized self, the encounter takes on an eerie
brilliance--The Village Voice. Bilingual with introduction.
An excellent bilingual editon.--Choice
