This essay by Octavio Paz explores the nature of translation, especially in the field of poetry, arguing that translation is itself an act of creation. Paz analyzes and translates poems by John Donne, Stéphane Mallarmé, Guillaume Apollinaire, and e. e. cummings, offering analytical commentary on his recreations. The book is part of the 'Cuadernos Marginales' collection and is a reflection on the relationship between poetic translation and literary creation.
