'The poetry of modern Mexico is not entirely unknown in this country: Samuel Beckett was so impressed by it that he translated an earlier anthology, and the poems of the greatest contemporary Mexican poet, Octavio Paz, have long been admired here. The present anthology, with the poems chosen by Paz himself, will show how rich the whole scene is. In sensuous detail, strangeness and violence of metaphor, aptness of image and variation of tone, these poems make a strong and immediate impression, and demonstrate a wealth of literary activity which can now be properly appreciated in the English-speaking world. The translations, which have been edited by Mark Strand, were specially made for this volume by a distinguished team of poets, including Paul Blackburn, Donald Justice and W. S. Merwin. They communicate with extraordinary precision the passion and energy of the original texts, which are printed on the facing pages. New Poetry of Mexico is an exciting collection which gives us new insights, not only into another culture, but into the nature of poetry itself.'
