Very, very useful! And of course wonderfully written. Let me know when you grab that Nicanor collection--that's the only one you mention that I've read in full!
Halfway through, I thought, now here's a guy who's going to enjoy Nicanor Parra!
I need to get serious about Paz myself, but I'll note that his book about Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz is wonderful, and the various translations of Sor Juana are quite good, if you want to extend your list to what I admit is a different tradition. But she really is a fascinatng person.
