This volume contains a more or less nomadic collection of verse and poems, produced throughout a period of forty years in an otherwise active life. It represents selected subjects, several of which have never been offered for publication. Some have elicited favorable comment; others have been reprinted in books and magazines or preserved in the scrapbooks of friends and acquaintances. A few have been declaimed on various occasions. It is the sincere hope of the subscriber that the book may find a permanent place in the esteem of the reading public. - Wilbur D. Spencer Quotes About Poetry "...

En los poemas de José Emilio Pacheco, escribió Octavio Paz, se exalta la victoria de la naturaleza sobre la cultura y al exaltarla la transfigura, la convierte en palabra. Publicado en 2009, en La edad de las tinieblas José Emilio Pacheco culmina una extraordinaria aventura poética que comenzó cincuenta años atrás con Los elementos de la noche, y lo hace revitalizando una fértil tradición de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX: el poema en prosa.
