«Antología Poética» is the poetry anthology by César Vallejo, published in 2000 by Ediciones 29 in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
Selection and prologue by José Miguel Oviedo that gathers a representative sample of Vallejo's poetry, including the collection «España, aparta de mí este cáliz». His work, hermetic and tormented in tone, combines social commitment with simple verses about home, childhood, and the mother.
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.
