| | 3. |  | Octavio Paz: A Meditation
from University of Arizona Press
Price: $10.00
Customer Review:
Dr. Stavans has been compared to Mr. Octavio Paz. And for good reason: this is a short book, but it's powerful. It doesn't do what trashy academic books do all the time: the say absolutely nothing.

from New Directions Publishing Corporation
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
What if God were the world, the stars, lust, sex, trees, rivers, water, salt, and crystal? What if the world were the poet's fecund Mexican lover? To Octavio Paz, Mexican poet and Nobel laureate, God, the totality, is all of this, and more. To Paz, the reality of daily life is - on the descriptive... more info
