  Radio Prague's Virtual Cemetery - Jan Neruda
The 24-year-old Jan Neruda was introduced to readers for the first time by his collection of poems "Cemetery Flowers," in which he described the shady sides of human life and the tragic feeling of life.
By the time he was thirty-five, Neruda had behind him an unsuccessful relationship with Anna Holinova, who loved him but couldn't handle his intellectual world, his love for Karolina Svetla was still unrequited, and the hope he put into the amorous affair with Tereza Machackova was crushed by her death.
Jan Neruda's work never was appreciated by his contemporaries, but by the generation to follow, as so often happens with great artists who come before their time.

As Alastair Reid, a frequent translator, has written: “Neruda anchored himself firmly to Chile by transforming a series of houses there into his centre, his point of rest, where he kept his desk.” Such was his nature; footloose yet rooted, peasant and cosmopolitan, artist and diplomat.

Neruda decided then “that support for the Republican side was worth the inevitable sacrifice of his diplomatic position”.

 Rake's Progress: Neruda general
I am skeptical whether Neruda, for all his variety and intensity, truly was of Whitman's eminence, or of Emily Dickenson's, but no Western hemisphere poet of [the 20th century] can sustain a full comparison to him.
When he began to publish poetry in his teens, Neruda chose a new name in order to hide his authorship from his father; he liked "Pablo," and saw the name of Jan Neruda, the 19th century Czech writer, while glancing through a literary journal.
I argued that an unsmoothed Neruda was better than a censored one, even when that censorship would have had nothing to do with politics and all to do with aesthetics.
