Octavio Paz: A Study of his Poetics - Wilson, Jason

Jason Wilson approaches Paz's poetics through his relationship with André Breton, the surrealist leader. This is a 'spiritual biography' of a poet-thinker; a study of a fertile relationship; a re-evaluation of surrealism and, finally, a coping with those acute problems that all poets and readers of poetry must face in an age lacking an acceptable cultural tradition.
