What is the theme in Pablo Neruda: Selected Poems by Pablo Neruda?

Connectivity is another theme in Pablo Neruda's poetry. Neruda felt a real connection with so many different things in his life. He wrote odes about common and everyday objects such as chestnuts, clothes and tomatoes. It was said that he began writing his odes, of which he published two volumes, Odas Elementales (1954) and Nuevas Odas Elementales (1956), not only because he felt a real connection with these objects, but also because he felt a great need to make his poetry more accessible to the common man. In addition to his odes, through the rest of his poetry he sprinkled imagery of inanimate objects personified including items such as mirrors, stones, and brooms.
