It includes the collection 'Spain, Take This Chalice from Me,' a reflection of the Spanish Civil War. Vallejo, along with Neruda and Huidobro, is considered one of the great Latin American poets of the 20th century, standing out for his visceral nature and social commitment. This edition from Alianza Editorial presents a careful selection to bring the reader closer to the depth and originality of his poetry.
César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet, writer, playwright, and journalist. Although he published only two books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language. Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante". The late British poet, critic and biographer Martin Seymour-Smith, a leading authority on world literature, called Vallejo "the greatest twentieth-century poet in any language." He was a member of the intellectual community called North Group formed in the Peruvian north coastal city of Trujillo.
