{"product_id":"piedra-de-sol","title":"Piedra de Sol","description":"Presented in Eliot Weinberger's excellent new translation with the Spanish texts \u003cem\u003een face\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the 1957 poem \"that definitively established Paz as a major international figure\" (\u003cem\u003eSagetrieb\u003c\/em\u003e). Written as a single cyclical sentence (at the end of the poem the first six lines are written again), \u003cem\u003eSunstone\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eSunstone\u003c\/em\u003e). 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.\"","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833680376013,"sku":"9780811211956","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_9c54a955-a464-4964-ae5a-5c4fe66aa035.jpg?v=1790892790","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/piedra-de-sol","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
