The Complete Posthumous Poetry - César Vallejo


"This is the first translation into English of the complete poetry of the Peruvian writer César Vallejo (1892-1938), one of the greatest voices in 20th-century poetry. Published in bilingual format, the book includes notes on the translation itself, as well as an introduction and chronology of the Vallejo's life and work. Vallejo's poetry takes the Spanish language to an unprecedented level of emotional rawness and stretches its grammatical possibilities. Striking against theology with the very rhetoric of the Christian faith, Vallejo's is a tragic vision perhaps the only one in the canon of Spanish-language literature in which salvation and sin are one and the same."
