Octavio Paz has long been known for his brilliant essays as well as for his poetry. Through the essays, he has sought to confront the tensions inherent in the conflict between art and society and to achieve a unity of their polarities. The Siren and the Seashell is a collection of Pazs essays, focusing on individual poets and on poetry in general. The first five poets he treats are Latin American: Sor Juana Ins de la Cruz, Rubn Daro, Jos Juan Tablada, Ramn Lpez Velarde, and Alfonso Reyes. Then there are essays on Robert Frost, e. e. cummings, Saint-John Perse, Antonio Machado, and Jorge Guilln. Finally, there are Pazs reflections on the poetry of solitude and communion and the literature of Latin America. Each essay is more than Pazs impressions of one person or issue; each is the occasion for a wider discussion of cultural, historical, psychological, and philosophical themes. The essays were selected from Pazs writing between 1942 and 1965 and provide an overview of the development of his thinking and an exploration of the ideas central in his works.

Octavio Paz is a living incarnation of those tensions in modern poetry between human commitment and aesthetic concern, a dialectic that is fundamental to the art of all nations. And his poetics is important, for it places the poet at the heart of modern life, singing his solitary song in company with the massed voices of human solitude. In his view, the poet does not speak the language of society but turns away from it, gaining strength in exile. * Hudson Review *
