PAZ, Octavio
Viento Entero
Delhi, (Caxton Press), 1965. A limited edition of this single poem by the Mexican Nobel Prize winner, published in India when the author was the Mexican Ambassador to that country. He resigned from diplomatic service in 1968 in protest of the government's bloody suppression of student demonstrations during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. One of 197 copies signed by the author. This copy is additionally inscribed by Paz to Selden Rodman "con un abrazo cordial" in the month after publication. A mildly sunned, near fine copy in wrappers, in a discolored glassine dustwrapper. A nice association between two major cultural figures of the Americas.
