Residence on Earth

Residence on Earth (Spanish: Residencia en la Tierra) is book of poetry by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. Residence on Earth came out in three volumes, in 1933, 1935, and 1947. Neruda wrote the book over a span of two decades, from 1925 until 1945.^[1]

The first volume of Residence on Earth was published by Nascimento on 16 February 1933 in an edition of 100 copies. In a letter to his friend and fellow writer Héctor Eandi, Neruda wrote 'Residencia en la tierra is being printed at this very moment in a luxury edition of just 100 copies, by Nascimento. It will be a stupendous edition. You can count on one copy, the only I'll be able to send to Argentina. It will cost 50 Chilean dollars and I don't think that it will be on sale in Buenos Aires.'^[2]
