Review Aug 18

Looking up his biography I found Octavio Paz Lozano (March 31, 1914 – April 19, 1998) was a Mexican writer, poet, and diplomat, and the winner of the 1990 Nobel Prize in Literature.Very prolific & slightly surreal in style he is described in the write up .So 'what are my thoughts about this poem,'you ask...firstly ..it  recites very well &.
 secondly it reads as if it is a recurring dark nightmare..& so very surreal indeed.
