"The Complete Works of Borges, Volume 2 (set of 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 the collections of poems he 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."
