Exploring poetry through prose Paz considers the work and legacies of many poets: Dante, Milton, Whitman, Sor Juana, Eliot, Baudelaire, and others. He questions the concepts of modernity and postmodernity, and considers various interrelated avant-garde literary movements: Futurism, Dadaism, Simultaneism, etc. He also reflects on the relationship between his own poetry and prose writings. Along the way are some marvelous nuggets, such as his definition of a poem: "a thing made of words, for the purpose of containing and secreting a substance that is impalpable, resistant to definition, and called poetry" (from "The Few and the Many"). The book ends on a prophetic note of hope: ". . . I can say, with a modicum of certainty, that as long as there are people, there will be poetry." I recommend "The Other Voice" to all those interested in Latin American literature or poetry in general. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Octavio Paz is one of the most recognized of Latin American writers. His essays offer a sophisticated critique of global modernity. Although his work has advanced many of the arguments that orient our contemporary debates in the social sciences and in philosophy, it has hardly ever been seriously considered within theses disciplines. This volume suggests that this may have been a mistake. Its authors indicate ways in which Paz’ essays can be read as substantial contributions to contemporary debates in various fields. They aim to present to a non-Spanish speaking audience some of the discussions about Paz’ offerings to the ongoing debates. The book also wants to make a clear statement: a critique of our contemporary modernity must go hand in hand with a non-exclusive intercultural understanding of Humanism. |

Absolutely brilliant. I am kicking myself for having had this book in my collection for long enough that I don�t remember buying it and not getting around to it until now. Paz is the most exciting poet I�ve run across since discovering the work of Ira Sadoff five years ago. His work, more than capably translated here by Eliot Weinberger (with a few translations from others thrown in for good measure), is a perfect blend of the art and craft of poetry. It is also the finest overtly political work I have read since Aime Cesaire last put pen to paper. Paz understands that if the poetry is good enough, the message of the poetry will come out on its own, something nine hundred ninety-nine out of every thousand political poets never grasp. Those who would dispute it need only read the title poem here and hold it up against the best works by inferior political poets. The difference is stunning, and obvious. When Paz won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1990, the committee stated that his writing was characterized by �sensuous intelligence and humanistic integrity.� Indeed. This is poetry the way it�s meant to be. **** 1/2
