# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Octavio Paz Lozano was born March 31, 1914, and spent a life moving between words and nations as both poet and diplomat. His writing threaded philosophy through verse, pulling at the knot of what it means to be alone and Mexican and human all at once. The honors came in waves: the Jerusalem Prize in 1977, the Miguel de Cervantes in 1981, the Neustadt in 1982, then the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1990. He died April 19, 1998, having turned the interior life into a map others could read.
