Rich in startling neologisms and other forms of verbal play, \u003ci\u003eTrilce \u003c\/i\u003eis a blazingly vivid revelation of what poetry can be, at once a love poem, a poem of erotic urgency and frustration, a poem of family life, of political fury, a lament for the dead, a work of intense privacy and an address to the world. As a whole, the work may be said to constitute a profound reckoning with time--the time of literary forms and their conjunctions with social and political time; the time of indigenous and traditional cultural forms--which also works to create a new poetic now. Haunting and incantatory, Vallejo's complex set of poems speaks powerfully to us, as we in our time seek to find what needs to be made present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new edition of \u003ci\u003eTrilce\u003c\/i\u003e--the recipient of the prestigious Premio Valle Inclán for the best translation from Spanish into English--the translators Helen Dimos and William Rowe accompany each poem with a gloss. Their incisive commentary on these legendarily challenging poems opens them up to new understanding while inviting readers to find their own pathways to and through them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e César Vallejo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681379968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCésar Vallejo\u003c\/b\u003e (1892-1938) was a Peruvian poet who lived most of his life in France and Spain.
