Collected Poems 1957-87 by Octavio Paz
The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz.
Octavio Paz (1914–1998) was a prolific Mexican poet and essayist. He studied at the University of California at Berkeley for two years before entering the Mexican diplomatic service, from which he resigned in protest against his government’s massacre of student demonstrators before the Olympic Games in 1968. His postings took him to Paris – where he wrote The Labyrinth of Solitude – India, Tokyo and Geneva. He was awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature. Eliot Weinberger’s first study of multiple Chinese translations was the perennially popular 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei (1987). His essays are collected in Works on Paper, Outside Stories and Karmic Traces. Among his many translations are The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz 1957–1987, Bei Dao’s Unlock and Jorge Luis Borges’ Selected Non-Fictions, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism in 1999.
