Written as a single cyclical sentence (at the end of the poem the first six lines are written again), Sunstone 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 Sunstone). 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."Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 211mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 93gAuthor: Octavio PazTranslator: Eliot WeinbergerContributor: Eliot Weinberger (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 1992 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
