Este es un poema necesario.,
By gmunoz@interware.com.mx (México, D. F.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunstone Piedra De Sol (Paperback)
Paz ha creado una joya de incalculable valor. Con toda la plasticidad que un genio puede brindarle a un texto, San Octavio recorre en Piedra de Sol todos los grandes temas de la poesía y con ello, del hombre. Es tan natural el desempeño de sus letras que es necesario hacer un esfuerzo para asimilar que nos han llevado de un confín a otro, de la magia a la realidad, de la mujer a la soledad, del río al dolor. Gracias a la serenidad del texto la forma (son 584 endecasílabos) no se percibe en la lectura: así emergen los gigantes.

Sunstone: Life of A Crystalline Muse,
By Michael J. Hawk "Artist, Father" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sunstone Piedra De Sol (Paperback)
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 surface - quite surreal, very vibratory, illusory and refelective. Things sparkle and song is everywhere. To even comment on this vibrational reality is a stop-start, humbling obsession for the poet. This poem is a much needed break for those too bored with European views of reality. This book opens doors to Mexican poetry and to Paz' great career as a poet and essayist. Be prepared to be changed.Michael James Hawk http://www.sculpture.org/portfolio/sculptorPage.php?sculptor_id=1001229 5 of 7 people found the following review helpful
