poem, he took the pen name pablo neruda. in 1924 neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “twenty love poems and a song of despair. yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. his work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of south america. he was awarded the nobel prize for literature in 1971. neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. he found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “i need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “i move
