conversations.value: Give me a description for a story titled The Poems of Octavio Paz about Weinberger, Spanish, English with the genre: New, Used & Rental Textstorys, Humanities.
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: As Weinberger, long a translator of Mexican Nobel laureate the author, acknowledges in a prefatory note to this comprehensive, dual-language retrospective, any act of translation remains forever incomplete. This is nowhere clearer, perhaps, than in this generous volume that uniquely covers the authors full evolution as an artist, from early, timid attempts to the prose-like passages of his postwar years to his accomplished, playful later pieces. Weinberger, along with a few poet-translators, such as Elizabeth Bishop, Denise Levertov, and Muriel Rukeyser, wrestles with the reflexive forms of alliterative Spanish, the informal second-person pronoun, which has no real analog in English, and the tricky accentual stresses and shades of emphasis found in Spanish. Weinberger includes poems never before translated into English, a fresh and concise biography of the author, and a wealth of poems written all over the world, from Delhi to Paris to Tokyo and beyond, a representative selection which attests to the authors genuine cosmopolitanism. An incomparable entre into a versatile and globally influential poets work. --Diego Bez
