Intimacies - Review
This is a book that stands out on the bookshelf. I love to come home and see this beautiful book on my table. It is always available to be read and seen, to enjoy Neruda's poetry and wonder at Mary Heebner's magnificent paintings. Even better, this is a bilingual edition and suits those who know Spanish or want to know.
