The various love poems by Pablo Neruda ring hollow to many because this poet was also implicated in a variety of ways. In the literary sense, some of his work has been perceived as sexist, but many feminists take greater issue with some of the other elements of his life rather than his work. He abandoned his own daughter and also seemingly confessed, in his own memoirs, to raping a woman. During the #MeToo movement of recent years, at the time of writing, his work has become more controversial because of its attachment to the man that he was in life. His work may have been influential to many, but the man behind the words has soured his writings for many.
