To write so deeply about love, the Chilean poet must have done a lot of loving, right? Well, sort of. The Nobel Prize-winner had three wives before his death in 1973, at the age of 69. When one love affair ended, and when another began is difficult to breakdown because his relationships overlapped. He married María Antonieta

“Jeanne Wakatsuki was seven years old in 1942 when her family was uprooted from their home and sent to live at Manzanar internment camp with ten thousand other Japanese Americans” said by unknown.
