«España, aparta de mí este cáliz. Poemas humanos» is the poetry collection by César Vallejo published in 2003 in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two series of poetry by César Vallejo: «Poemas humanos», seventy-six poems very different in length, structure, intensity and theme, and «España, aparta de mí este cáliz», written in the face of the Spanish Civil War. In these verses, pain and injustice are transformed into a song of hope and solidarity, with a personal voice that seeks the survival of Spain, Peru and the word itself.
The work was originally published in 1939; this copy is part of the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection.
For readers of poetry and Latin American literature interested in works arising from the Spanish Civil War.
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.
