Tribute to the South American Poet and Statesman

presents

ERUDA: July 12, 2004 to July 11, 2005

Tribute to the South American poet and statesman,

winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, 1971

on the hundredth anniversary of his birth

Sponsored by:

Born in Chile on July 12, 1904, Pablo Neruda created romantic and

epic poetry as well as drama and prose that captured the essence

of America. His simple words inspired generations of lovers. He

gave voice to the common struggles of peasants, miners, factory

workers. His love for the Americas burst forth in images of the sea

and the flora and fauna.

Neruda was much more than a Nobel Prize winning poet. He was a

diplomat, an ambassador to France, a communist senator, a

candidate for the presidency of Chile, a political fugitive, the winner

of the World Peace Prize. His friends ranged from carpenters and

fishermen to Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, Gandhi, Che Guevara

and Salvador Allende.

Neruda was known as the "poet of the people", the voice for the

voiceless who fought passionately for social justice. “Poetry is an

act of peace,” he wrote. “Peace goes into the making of a poet as

flour goes into the making of bread.”

Neruda was the most prominent 20th century poetic voice of Latin

America, a man whose voice resonates to all our international

populations. Lover, political activist, the voice of the common man—

Pablo Neruda speaks to today's concerns and all people.
