Deep Rose

NeoDB

Mexican poet Octavio Paz once said, "Borges's works cover three genres: prose, poetry, and novels. His prose reads like novels; his novels read like poetry; and his poetry often feels like prose."

This book collects 27 poems from his 1975 collection, "The Deep Rose." The author, with profound knowledge of poetic aesthetics and creative practice, posits, "Language is originally a magical symbol, increasingly worn down by time. The poet's mission is to restore its former, now-vanished virtues." Borges also defines poetry's mission as conveying precise facts and touching us with a practical touch, like the ocean at our fingertips. In this collection, Borges explores the unique beauty of things and the often-overlooked value of words, imbuing poetry with a richer meaning.
