Octavio Paz, asserts Eliot Weinberger in his introduction to these Selected Poems, is among the last of the modernists who drew their own maps of the world. For Latin Americas foremost living poet, his native Mexico has been the center of a global mandala, a cultural configuration that, in his life and work, he has traced to its furthest reaches: to Spain, as a young Marxist during the Civil War. to San Francisco and New York in the early 1940s. to Paris, as a surrealist, in the postwar years. to India and Japan in 1952, and to the East again as his countrys ambassador to India from 1962 to 1968. and to various universities in the United States throughout the 1970s. A great synthesizer, the rich diversity of Pazs thought is shown here in all its astonishing complexity. Among the sixty-seven selections in this volume, a gathering in English of his most essential poems drawn from nearly fifty years work, are Muriel Rukeysers now classic version of Sun Stone and new translations by editor Weinberger of Blanco and Maithuna. And since for Paz, forever in motion, there can be no such thing as a definitive text, all the poems have been revised to conform to the poets most recent changes in the original Spanish. Besides those by Rukeyser and Weinberger, the translations in the Selected Poems are by G. Aroul, Elizabeth Bishop, Paul Blackburn, Lysander Kemp, Denise Levertov, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, William Carlos Williams, and Monique Fong Wust. Autor: G.
