Presented in Eliot Weinberger's excellent new translation with the Spanish texts en face, this is the 1957 poem \"that definitively established Paz as a major international figure\" (Sagetrieb). Written as a single cyclical sentence (at the end of the poem the first six lines are written again), Sunstone is a tour de force of momentum. It takes as its structural basis the circular Aztec calendar, which measured the synodic period of the planet Venus (584 days-the number of lines of Sunstone). But, as The New Republic noted, \"this esoteric correlative design...does not circumscribe its subject. [It is] a lyrically discursive exploration of time and memory, of erotic love, or art and writing.\" Black-and-white illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974503203104,"sku":"NEW0811211959","price":15.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sunstonepiedra-de-sol-0811211959","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
