Octavio Paz  (1914 - 1998) Mexican writer who fell in love with poetry as a way to feel the world more intensely. He was an inspiration to those who heard him (like me--he changed my life). His work remains a model of how words come to life in the poet's hands to sing what could well be. His images caught on. They have taken root. They are starting to form.

Octavio Paz is the poet of transformation and emergence. His poems sing
the sensuous metamorphoses of things, starting from water, stone, and wind.
