Octavio Paz is such a masterly presence in the dialogue of Latin American culture that it is easy to forget he is first and foremost a poet in the polyphony of his voices the poetic one still rings loudest and clearest. Roberto Gonzlez Echevarra, New York Times Book Review The first major book of short prose poetry in Spanish, Eagle or Sun? (Aguila o Sol?) exerted an enormous influence on modern Latin American writing. Written in 194950 by Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz, Eagle or Sun? has as its mythopoeic 'place' Mexicoa country caught up in its preColumbian past, the world of modern imperialism, and an apocalyptic future foretold by the Aztec calendar. Indeed, three personae of the bookthe goddess Itzapaplotl, the prophet clerk, the poetare manifestations of the threefold aspects of the land. Paz himself explains: 'Eagle or Sun? is an exploration of Mexico, yes, but at the same time, and above all, it is an exploration of the relations between language and the poet, reality and language, the poet and history.'
