Born in 1939, Pacheco achieved recognition early, and while still in his twenties, he was already keeping company with the most important writers of his generation. A prolific poet and perfectionist, Pacheco published many volumes of poetry, including his famous 1969 collection \u003cem\u003eNo me preguntes como pasa el tiempo\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDon't Ask Me How the Time Goes By\u003c\/em\u003e). This edition is edited by George McWhirter of The University of British Columbia, who worked closely with Pacheco himself in choosing the poems and their English translations. Besides McWhirter's own versions are those by Edward Dorn, Alastair Reid, Katherine Silver, and others. As McWhirter writes: \"In his singularity of vision and multiplicity of poetic forms, traditional and modern, Pacheco spans past and present in both Latin American and peninsular Spanish poetry. It is a glittering and giant technical achievement, as brilliant and instantly visible as Hart Crane's \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Emilio Pacheco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811240192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePacheco, José Emilio:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAuthor of the well-known novel Battles in the Desert, \u003cstrong\u003eJosé Emilio Pacheco\u003c\/strong\u003e won the Mexican National Poetry Prize, the Premio José Asunción Silva Award, and the Cervantes Prize.
