and tried to discourage him from writing. to cover up the publication of his first 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( 被流放者) 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
