Haroldo and his Contemporaries
Haroldo de Campos’s Latin American Plural Poetics:
A Dialogue with Octavio Paz
This concluding chapter will place Campos in the context of Latin American literature, along with another important Latin American poet of the twentieth century, the Mexican, Octavio Paz. I will consider the landmark translation by Campos of Paz’s simultaneist poem Blanco and a fascinating correspondence on poetics between these two figures gathered in the volume Transblanco (1985).
