A review by kerrianne
A Draft of Shadows and Other Poems by Octavio Paz

5.0

Ending the year with poetry is one of my favorite ways to end the year. That this collection is filled with so many lines centered on reflection, movement, moons, truth, and water made it (a nice literary connection to the past year for me, yes! and) an apt pairing for reflections ahead of starting a new year and a new decade. I take no credit for choosing it; it chose me today. (Poetry magic strikes again!)

The sound of some of these poems! Such tangible music and memorable rhythm.

[Five stars for being exactly what I needed to read this New Year's Eve.]
