Vallejo resolvió renunciar del todo a la tradición poética previa; en un gesto de absoluta libertad estética, crea un lenguaje que expresa fielmente los aspectos más primarios, instintivos y oscuros del ser humano; es decir, se asomó a los bordes mismos de lo indecible, asumiendo los riesgos de resultar ininteligible o balbuceante. Es significativo que en 1922 sea el año en el que aparecieron The Waste Land de T. S. Eliot y el Ulysses de Joyce, al lado de los cuales bien puede colocarse son tres distintas y altas manifestaciones de los profundos cambios que estaban produciéndose en la literatura occidental.

About the author

César Vallejo

321 books398 followers
César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza was a Peruvian poet. Although he published only three books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century. Always a step ahead of the literary currents, each of his books was distinct from the others and, in it's own sense, revolutionary. Clayton Eshleman and José Rubia Barcia's translation of "The Complete Posthumous Poetry of César Vallejo" won the National Book Award for translation in 1979.
