Summary

The Poems of Octavio Paz is the first retrospective collection of Paz's poetry to span his entire writing career, from his first published poem at age seventeen to his magnificent last poem. This landmark bilingual edition contains many poems that have never been translated into English before, plus new translations based on Paz's final revisions. Assiduously edited by Eliot Weinberger--who has been translating Paz for over forty years--The Poems of Octavio Paz also includes translations by the poet-luminaries Elizabeth Bishop, Paul Blackburn, Denise Levertov, Murial Rukeyser, and Charles Tomlinson. Readers will find Weinberger's capsule biography of Paz, as well as notes on many poems in Paz's own words, taken from various interviews he gave throughout his long and singular life--back cover
