Che recites a short poem

[CHE with an AK]

Che always appreciated the power of poetry - Pablo Neruda was his favorite but he also enjoyed John Keats, Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Gabriela Mistral, César Vallejo, and Walt Whitman. In fact it is also said that could recite Rudyard Kipling's "If—" and José Hernández's "Martín Fierro" from memory.


Below is a video clip of him reciting a short two line poem ...

I love Pablo Neruda. Great poet. I suggest you read Memoirs, the best autobiography ever written.

Everyone remember Che was a hero, not a god. Don't idolize him.
