Imagine that Pablo Neruda wrote a second volume of his iconic Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair. Imagine Neruda did so after the torrent of feeling and imagery that was One Hundred Love Sonnets, revisiting his favorite theme one last time to express a deep appreciation for the love of his life. In this fantasized second version, his passions still burn but he recounts intense moments more tersely. This is the book, one hundred years after Neruda's original, that William Greenwood gives us in Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Hope.

Autorenporträt
William Greenwood was born in Arizona. He studied languages and social sciences, ultimately receiving a degree in philosophy cum laude from the University of California. After joining the farm workers' struggle for justice during early unionization, he organized the first agricultural producer-marketing cooperative of Mexican farm workers. This led to a career in development which took him to residencies in Latin America, the Middle East and Central Asia, working on agricultural and small business projects. In the 1970's he co-founded Green Horse Press with a small group of poets to translate and publish new poetry previously unavailable to English-speakers. Green Horse published his translation of a selection from Guatemalan poet Arqueles Morales' La Paz Aún No Ganada which had been selected for the 1971 Cuban Colección La Honda; as well as his first chapbook, Into the Center of America. In 2014 Word Temple Press published Landscape/Cityscape, of which Paul Vangelisti wrote: "Greenwood resumes his singular, sometimes eccentric explorations, getting at the core of what language may propose for one's way of living. It is a sensual, hard-bought knowledge that pervades Greenwood's poetry, founded in and of the world, reinforced by the adventure of language." The present chapbook, Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Hope, was a finalist one year for the Blue Light Poetry Prize.
