This volume collects the complete poetic works of César Vallejo, one of the most innovative poets of the 20th century and the greatest exponent of Peruvian literature. The edition, by Antonio Merino, includes facsimiles of his posthumous poems, offering a new critical reading of his poetics, where experimentation and solidarity intertwine to construct a utopia of language. The work places Vallejo between the post-romantic and modernist American heritage and the aesthetic renewal of the European avant-garde.
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.
