› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bow and the Lyre (El Arco Y La Lira): The Poem, the Poetic Revelation, Poetry and History'Book summary:In The Bow and the Lyre Octavio Paz, one of the most important poets writing in Spanish, presents his sustained reflections on the poetic phenomenon and on the place of poetry in history and in our personal lives. It is written in the same prose style that distinguishes The Labyrinth of Solitude. The Bow and the Lyre will serve as an important complement to Paz's poetry.
Paz's discussions of the different aspects of the poetic phenomenon are not limited to Spanish and Spanish American literature. He is almost as apt to choose an example from Homer, Vergil, Blake, Whitman, Rimbaud as he is from Lope de Vega, Jiménez, Darío, Neruda. In writing these essays, he draws on his vast storehouse of knowledge, revealing a world outlook of ample proportions. In reading these essays, we share the observations of a searching, original, highly cultivated mind.

Fragile Demon: Juan Soriano in Mexico, 1935 to 1950by Carlos Fuentes, Octavio Paz , Edward J. Sullivan, Anne D'HarnoncourtISBN 0300136889 (0-300-13688-9)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Fragile Demon: Juan Soriano in Mexico, 1935 to 1950'Book summary:[via]One of Mexicos most important modern artists, Juan Soriano (19202006) served as a link between the nationalist imagery of the Mexican muralists and the experimental vanguard of the 1950s and 1960s known as La Ruptura. This fascinating book, which examines the earliest period of Sorianos career, is the first focused, critical study of him in English.
Opening with texts on Soriano by the artists friends and colleagues Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes (appearing here for the first time in English), the book places Sorianos work within the context of Mexican painting during this vibrant and transitional moment. In his essay, Edward Sullivan examines the parallels between paintings by Soriano and those of other modernists from Europe and the United States. He also analyzes the continuity within Sorianos paintings of certain Mexican pictorial traditions while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of his conscious rejection of folkloric elements sometimes associated with Mexican modern art.

Selected Poems of Ruben Darioby Rubén Darío, Lysander Kemp, Octavio PazISBN 0292776152 (0-292-77615-2)
Softcover, University of Texas Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Selected Poems of Ruben Dario'Book summary:Toward the close of the last century, the poetry of the Spanish-speaking world was pallid, feeble, almost a corpse. It needed new life and a new direction. The exotic, erratic, revolutionary poet who changed the course of Spanish poetry and brought it into the mainstream of twentieth-century Modernism was Félix Rubén García Sarmiento (1867-1916) of Nicaragua, who called himself Rubén Darío.
Since its original publication in 1965, this edition of Darío's poetry has made English-speaking readers better acquainted with the poet who, as Enrique Anderson Imbert said, "divides literary history into 'before' and 'after.'" The selection of poems is intended to represent the whole range of Darío's verse, from the stinging little poems of Thistles to the dark, brooding lines of Songs of the Argentine and Other Poems. Also included, in the Epilogue, is a transcript of a radio dialogue between two other major poets, Federico García Lorca of Spain and Pablo Neruda of Chile, who celebrate the rich legacy of Rubén Darío.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Siren and the Seashell: And Other Essays on Poets and Poetry by Octavio Paz'Book summary:Octavio Paz has long been known for his brilliant essays as well as for his poetry. Through the essays, he has sought to confront the tensions inherent in the conflict between art and society and to achieve a unity of their polarities. The Siren and the Seashell is a collection of Pazs essays, focusing on individual poets and on poetry in general. The first five poets he treats are Latin American: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Rubén Darío, José Juan Tablada, Ramón López Velarde, and Alfonso Reyes. Then there are essays on Robert Frost, e. e. cummings, Saint-John Perse, Antonio Machado, and Jorge Guillén. Finally, there are Pazs reflections on the poetry of solitude and communion and the literature of Latin America. Each essay is more than Pazs impressions of one person or issue; each is the occasion for a wider discussion of cultural, historical, psychological, and philosophical themes. The essays were selected from Pazs writing between 1942 and 1965 and provide an overview of the development of his thinking and an exploration of the ideas central in his works.
