"The Complete Works of Borges, Volume 2 (12 volumes in total)" is a collection of Borges's poetry works, including a total of 12 works, including the first collection of poems "Passion of Buenos Aires" published by Borges at his own expense in 1923, as well as his collections of poems published in the 1920s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, "The Moon Before Me: Notes of Saint Martin", "The Poet", "The Tiger's Gold", "Stories of the Night", "Days", etc.
The poems written by Borges are "random metaphors, free writing or breaking the constraints of sonnets". They are more like a combination of poetry and prose. They are a major innovation in poetry genre, because compared to form, poetry is the most important: "For a true poet, every moment of life, Everything should be poetic because that is what it is." "Everything - a comment, a farewell, an encounter, an interesting Arabic pattern on a playing card - can inspire beauty, and the poet's mission is to reflect this affectionate emotion in allegory or rhyme."
Reader comments
His works remind me of Haizi. They both have a unique perception of life. I especially like "The Passion of Buenos Aires", I feel that every sentence is full of poetry. However, I kind of hate poems that are too abstract and obscure, and they take too much brain power to read. Overall, this is a collection of poems worth reading again and again.
The poems and stories are all brewing a dream. This dream gives people a hazy feeling, which makes me reluctant to wake up from it.
You may have forgotten it after reading it, but you are still satisfied with what you gained at this moment. Is our life a dream? Do we recognize our own face? Who is the stranger in the mirror? If you take a walk around every inch of the earth, will you find a place where souls live?
In your thinking, I am thinking about myself. Life, me, soul, just live like this, I will find the answer.
