Born in 1402, the ruler—whose name means 'hungry coyote' in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl—led the city-state of Texcoco through its age of enlightenment. His four-decade reign was among the most transformative and prosperous eras of the Aztec Empire. Today he is a hero in Mexico, seen as a mysterious, powerful, anti-colonial figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrimming with longing, this epic collection of songs and poems was composed by Nezahualcyotl with members of his illustrious court. Six centuries later, in a powerful translation by Ilan Stavans and with new illustrations by Cuauhtemoc Wetzka, twenty-two poems bring to life a young warrior's journey from exile to historical legend.
