This first translation of the complete poetry of Peruvian Cesar
Vallejo (1892-1938) makes available to English speakers one of the
greatest achievements of twentieth-century world poetry. Handsomely
presented in facing-page Spanish and English, this volume,
translated by National Book Award winner Clayton Eshleman, includes
the groundbreaking collections "The Black Heralds "(1918), "Trilce
"(1922), "Human Poems "(1939), and "Spain, Take This Cup from Me
"(1939).
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. This edition includes notes on the
translation and a fascinating translation memoir that traces
Eshleman's long relationship with Vallejo's poetry. An introduction
and chronology provide further insights into Vallejo's life and
work.
