{"product_id":"9781628723922","title":"On Poets and Others","description":"The Nobel Prize–winning poet and man of letters Octavio Paz was also a brilliant reader of other writers, and this book selects his best critical essays from over three decades. In the sixteen pieces collected here, Paz discusses a wide range of poets and writers, both American and international, from Robert Frost and Walt Whitman to William Carlos Williams; from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Luis Buñuel to Alexander Solzhenitsyn; and from Charles Baudelaire to Jean-Paul Sartre, André Breton, and Henri Michaux.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaz writes, “I believe that a writer’s attitude to language should be that of a lover: fidelity and, at the same time, a lack of respect for the beloved object. Veneration and transgression.” When this original thinker meets these writers, each essay is an adventure of the mind.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Arcade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180326666480,"sku":"9781628723922","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628723922_p0.jpg?v=1763869031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628723922","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
